STUDY ON INSULIN RESISTANCE IN NORMAL WEIGHT SERUM URIC ACID PROFILE IN 100 CASES OF STEMI IN A TERITARY CARE HOSPITAL

Abstract

Background: Patients with ischemic heart disease fall into two large groups: patients with chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) who most commonly present with stable angina and patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACSs)1,2. The latter group, in turn, is composed of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) with ST-segment elevation on their presenting electrocardiogram and those with unstable angina and non-ST-segment elevation MI (UA/NSTEMI)
