Brief summary
Uric acid is a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CED) in postmenopausal women but the association with inflammation and coronary microvascular endothelial dysfunction is not well-defined. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of serum uric acid, inflammatory markers and CED.
Interventions
The standardized questionnaire was used to assess occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events including stroke, re-hospitalization, myocardial infarction or death. Responses were verified by medical record review conducted by an investigator blinded to the results of the standardized questionnaire.
