Table 2 Angiographic and procedural finding of the patients with STEMI stratified by the presence of hyperuricemia

From: Hyperuricemia is associated with an increased prevalence of ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction after primary percutaneous coronary intervention
