Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the adverse effects of serum uric acid concentration on the severity of chronic congestive heart failure. One hundred patients with chronic congestive heart failure (several risk factors include hypertension, smoking, and diabetes mellitus) were enrolled in this study (51 females and 49 males). Participants were admitted to Alsader Medical City in Al-Najaf from August 2018 to March 2019. Detailed medical history and complete clinical examination were performed for all patients. The patients' ages ranged from 13–90 years, with a mean of 62.1±15.8 years, and the median was 65 years. No statistically significant age difference was observed between males and females (P-value=0.687). Increased serum uric acid had a directly negative effect on the severity of chronic congestive heart failure and hypertension. High serum uric acid concentration was associated with increased severity of chronic congestive heart failure class NYHA III and NYHA IV and a decrement in ejection fraction of the left ventricle.
