Objective To evaluate the association between extent and severity of acute coronary syndrome and uric acid, leukocytes. Methods A retrospective analysis of leukocytes, platelets, lipids and uric acid levels were performed on 23 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI group), 17 patients with unstable angina (UA group), and 17 healthy subjects (controls) between January and December 2010. Results In the three groups (AMI, UA, and Control), the leukocyte count was respectively (10.4±3.2)×109/L, (6.9±2.4)×109/L and (5.4±1.1)×109/L (P<0.05); neutrophil was (7.4±3.2)×109/L, (4.8±2.3)×109/L, and (3.4±0.8)×109/L (P<0.001); and uric acid was (401.4±94.3), (384.1±74.1) and (285.5±76.8) μmol/L, respectively (P<0.001). Multinomial Logistic regression showed leukocyte was a predictor for AMI (OR=1.712, P=0.003), while uric acid was not (OR=1.006, P=0.255), regarding the UA group as the reference. When the control group was using as reference, leukocyte was an independently significant factor for AMI (OR=2.942, P=0.004) and was not a significant factor for UA (OR=1.718, P=0.125); uric acid was a significant factor for AMI and UA (OR=1.027, P=0.016; OR=1.021, P=0.041). Conclusion Uric acid may be associated with the chronic development of coronary heart disease, while leukocytes may play a potential role in plaque destabilization and the onset of AMI.
