Özet

Objectives Slow coronary flow (SCF) has long since been identified and endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis of the epicardial coronary arteries and microvasculature are reported to be associated with SCF. Serum uric acid is an independent biochemical marker of atherosclerosis, oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction. Consequently, we aimed to investigate the association between coronary blood flow and serum uric acid level by means of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction frame count (TFC) and other laboratory parameters, in patients with SCF compared with control participants.
