GW24-e2193 Effect of uric acid on prevalence, severity, plaque characteristics and calcium score of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with suspected coronary artery disease undergoing 256-detector coronary computed tomography
2013
Objectives To assess the association between UA level and the prevalence, severity, plaque characteristics and calcium score (CACS) of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with suspected coronary artery disease undergoing 256-detector coronary computed tomography, and further assess in sex. Methods A total of 1116 individuals with suspected CAD without known CAD were successful enrolled. The individuals were stratified into four groups according to their serum UA quartile in total, male and female, respectively. The baseline demographic and clinical characteristics of all population were collected, the prevalence, severity, characteristics and CACS of plaque were analysed by CCTA. The association the quartile of UA with the prevalence, severity, characteristics and CACS of plaque were assessed in total, male and female. The univariable and multivariable logistic regression were employ to find the association UA with significant stenosis, multivessel disease, high CACS and plaque characteristics in total, male and female. Results In the study, 50.7% were men, the mean age was 58.05 ± 10.69 years. With increase in quartiles UA, the prevalence of any plaque in total and female significantly increased (Total: 56.8% vs 62.0% vs 70.0% vs 73.0%, p 10, increasing quartiles of UA were significantly associated with CACS > 10 in both total (30.6% vs 32.5% vs 41.7% vs 44.5%, p = 0.001) and female (22.1% vs 24.1% vs 31.2% vs 41.0%, p = 0.002). As the UA increases in female, the proportion of mixed plaques increased significantly (21.7% vs 22.7% vs 24.5% vs 30.5%, p = 0.022). After adjustment, UA was the significant predictor of significant stenosis (OR:1.004, 95% CI (1.001-1.007), P = 0.011), multivessel disease (OR:1.003, 95% CI (1.001-1.006), P Conclusions UA was the significant predictor of significant stenosis, multivessel disease and mixed plaque in female; UA was only the strongest risk factor for mixed plaque in total. however, UA was not a real independent risk factor for coronary atherosclerosis in male. The level of UA was significantly associated with coronary atherosclerosis of female but not male.
