Abstract:
The association between SUA levels and AF is currently poorly known. We reviewed the literature on the association with AF and hyperuricemia.The association between SUA level and AF has been demonstrated. SUA levels are associated with an increased risk for future AF in both sexes. And elevated SUA levels strongly correlate with an increased incidence of AF in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Moreover, hyperuricemia was in connection with endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, systemic inflammatory markers, insulin resistance and LA size.
