Hyperuricemia in Cardiac Rehabilitation Patients: Prevalence and Association with Functional Improvement and Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The role of uric acid (UA) and Hyper Uricemia (HU) in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) patients have been very little studied.

Aim

To evaluate the prevalence of HU and if it is associated to the functional improvement obtained or the left ventricular Ejection Fraction (EF) in CR patients after Acute or Chronic Coronary Syndrome (ACS and CCS respectively).

Methods

We enrol 411 patients (62.4 ± 10.2 years; males 79.8%) enrolled in the CR program at Niguarda Hospital (Milan) from January 2012 to May 2023. HU was defined both as the classic cut-off (> 6 for females, > 7 mg/dL for males) and with the newly identified one by the URRAH study (> 5.1 for females, > 5.6 mg/dL for males). All patients performed a 6MWT and an echocardiography at the beginning and at the e
