Özet

Background: Arterial elasticity has been previously linked to atherosclerotic vascular disease states. Serum uric acid level has been recently associated with increased arterial stiffness, but to what extent serum uric acid reflects angiographic coronary artery status and vessel compliance remains to be established. In this study we aimed to evaluate the association of arterial elasticity indexes, serum uric acid and the presence and extent of angiographic coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with chronic stable angina.
