Abstract
Background: Acute myocardial infarction has already established itself as a major threat to health both in developed and developing countries. With the emergence of this epidemic, there is increased need of effective health care strategy as well as research in this field. Aims and Objectives: To study Killip class in patients with acute myocardial infarction on day 0, day 3, day 7. Methodology: This Single center prospective study carried out in Karnataka institute of medical sciences Hubli. A total of 100 patients of AMI admitted to Medical wards and ICCU department of Department of Medicine were included in the study after considering inclusion and exclusion criteria. Information was collected through a pretested and structured proforma. The statistical analysis was done by paired and unpaired t-test and calculated by SPSS 19 version software. Results: The mean serum uric acid level was higher among those cases who belonged to higher Killip class. Among the patients who died all belonged to higher Killip class i.e. class 4. Conclusion: From our study it is clear that SUA levels are correlated with Killip Class and patients with higher Killip Class have higher SUA levels in AMI. Serum uric acid can be used as a marker of short-term mortality in acute myocardial infarction.
