Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of serum uric acid(SUA)on the structure of the heart in middle aged and elderly pa-tients with hypertension.Methods One hundred and thirty four patients were enrol ed and divided into the control group and hype-ruricemia group by the level of SUA.The parameters of the ultrasound cardiogram of the heart were detected.Results A significant positive correlation was observed between the SUA and IVS,IVS/PWT(r= 0.303,P<0.01;r= 0.266,P<0.05).IVS,IVS/PWT and LAD in the hyperuricemia group were higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Elevated SUA may be involved in the remodeling of the left ventricle and atrium in patients with hypertension.
