Uric Acid-to-Albumin Ratio Is Associated with Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in Patients with No Significant Perfusion Abnormality
The ratio of uric acid to albumin is a marker of not only inflammation, but also prognosis of cardiovascular disease. However, whether this ratio is associated with left ventricular (LV) diastolic function remains unknown. This study tested the hypothesis that the uric acid-to-albumin ratio (UAR) is associated with LV diastolic parameters derived from gated myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in patients with no significant perfusion abnormalities.
