Uric acid levels were assessed in both groups with the enzymatic colorimetric method by clinical chemistry autoanalyzer.Results: The mean UA level was significantly higher in patients whose FFR indicated hemodynamically significant coronary lesions (UA: 5.43 ± 1.29 mg/dL in Group 1 vs. 4.51 ± 1.34 mg/dL in Group 2, P

Amaç & Hipotez:Background/aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the importance of preprocedural uric acid (UA) level in predicting fractional flow reserve (FFR) results of intermediate coronary lesions in patients with stable coronary artery disease undergoing coronary angiography.Materials and methods: We retrospectively analyzed 293 patients who underwent FFR measurement to determine the significance of intermediate coronary stenosis detected by conventional coronary angiography.
📊
Temel Bulgular & Veri:Patients were divided into 2 groups: Group 1 (n = 127) included patients with FFR of 0.80 (hemodynamically nonsignificant lesions).
