Uric acid and survival in chronic heart failure: validation and application in metabolic, functional, and hemodynamic staging.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is frequently encountered in patients with heart failure (HF) and is also a predictor of morbidity and mortality in this population. Recent experimental studies have shown electrical and structural atrial remodeling with increased fibrosis in animals with HF and have suggested a prev...
