Abstract
Hyperuricemia is associated with higher medium/long-term mortality and major cardiovascular event rates in patients following acute coronary syndrome. The addition of hyperuricemia to the GRACE score seems to improve risk classification but the discrimination of the new predictive model did not change. Hyperuricemic patients had higher all-cause mortality in medium and high-risk score categories.
