Abstract

  Background: Uric acid is one of the predictors of cardiovascular events in patients with cardiovascular disease, including heart failure. Objectives: To determine the average concentration and predictive value of cardiovascular events of blood uric acid in patients with heart failure. Material and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study on 198 chronic heart failure patients treated at the Department of Cardiology, Can Tho Central General Hospital, from January 2020 to December 2021. Results: The average concentration of blood uric acid in heart failure patients was 572±3.85µmol/L. There were 130 patients with hyperuricemia, accounting for 65%. Age, serum uric acid level, and NT-proBNP level had a predictive value of cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure. The uric acid cut-off points of 512 µmol/L had a predictive value for cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure. Conclusion: Hyperuricemia was an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure.
