Introduction
Coronary

artery disease (CAD) is the leading


cause of death in both western and developing
countries such as Indonesia. Data from intensive
cardiac care unit (ICCU) Cipto Mangunkusumo
National General Hospital (RSUPNCM) in 20012005 showed that the cases of acute coronary
syndrome (ACS) increases from year to year.

In

addition to the established risk factors of


atherosclerosis, such as diabetes, hypertension, smoking
and dyslipidemia, other factors such as hyperuricemia also
have a signifiant role for the occurrence of CAD.

The mortality rate of patients with acute myocardial

infarction with high uric acid levels increased by 3.7 times


compared to patients with normal uric acid levels.
Hyperuricemia can lead to increase risk of major adverse

cardiac events (MACE) in ACS patients due to free radical


formation, platelet adhesiveness, and cardiomyocyte
dysfunction and hyperptrophy.

Metodhs
Patients were excluded if they have diagnosis of heart

failure, acute cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or stroke,


cardiogenic shock, as well as died in the fist day of
admission based on medical record data.

RESULTS

Kaplan-Meier survival curve (Figure 1) showed there was signifiant difference of 7-days
MACE-free survival between hyperuricemic and normouricemic groups; 60% vs. 82%,
respectively (p log-rank <0.001)

DISCUSSION
Patients with hyperuricemia having more than 20%

lower of MACE-free survival compared to


normouremic patients, and in average the MACE were
occurred 1.25 days earlier during hospitalization in
hyperurisemic patients.

CONCLUSION
There was MACE-free survival difference between

hyperuricamic and normouricemic patients and


hyperuricemia is a risk factor for major adverse cardiac
events (MACE) in hospitalized acute coronary syndrome
patients
