This study investigated the association between serum uric acid (UA) levels and atrial fibrillation (AF) burden in Chinese patients with AF.<\/p>\n<p>In this cross-sectional study, AF burden was defined as the proportion of AF duration to total monitoring time, recorded by a patch device over \u226524 hours. Serum UA levels were measured at the start of monitoring. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess associations.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 952 patients with AF (66.4% women; median age 64 years) were included. A 1-SD increase in UA (91.4 \u03bcmol\/L) was associated with elevated risk of persistent AF (adjusted OR: 1.32; 95% CI: 1.12-1.55; P &lt; 0.001). The highest UA quintile had a greater risk of persistent AF than the lowest quintile of patients (adjusted OR: 2.43; 95% CI: 1.49-3.98; P for trend &lt; 0.001).<\/p>\n<p>Serum UA levels are positively associated with AF burden in a dose-dependent manner.
