Abstract：Objective To discuss the relationship between vascular endothelial function and blood uric acid (BUA) in patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP). Methods Vascular endothelial function was reviewed and reactive hyperemia index (RHI) was calculated by using peripheral arterial tension (PAT) detection with Endo-PAT 2000 (Itamar Medical Inc., Caesarea, Isarel) in UAP patients (n=202). All patients were divided into high BUA group and normal BUA group according to fast venous BUA level. Results The percentage of male cases was higher in high BUA group than that in normal BUA group (73.17%vs. 56.67%, P=0.018). RHI had no statistical difference (Z=-0.811, P=0.417) between 2 groups, and BUA and RHI had no linear correlation (r=-0.097, P=0.169). Conclusion BUA cannot be taken as early-stage predictive index for injured vascular endothelial function in UAP patients.
