Background Preliminary data suggest that serum uric acid (SUA) could be involved in the prognosis of chronic heart failure (HF). The aim of our study was to test the relationship between SUA and left ventricular ejection fraction (EF%) in a cohort of elderly hypertensive outpatients with chronic HF.Design We consecutively enrolled 487 elderly outpatients (M=59.8%; F=40.2%; mean age: 72 +/- 11years old) affected by mild-to-moderate hypertensive and/or ischaemic HF, evaluating the relationship between SUA and EF%.Results In an univariate analysis, SUA was inversely related with EF%: B= -4.392, 95% CI -5.427 to -3.357, P
