A Ten-Year Follow-Up Study of the Association Between Uric Acid and Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

The association between uric acid (UA) and long-term mortality in patients with coronary artery disease is poorly investigated. We assessed the association between UA and 10-year mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in 3,998 patients who underwent PCI. Patients were categorized in groups according to UA tertiles: tertile 1 (UA7.94 mg/100 ml, n  = 1,311). The primary outcome was 10-year all-cause mortality.
