Background: The aim is to study the correlation of serum uric acid and atrial fibrillation in hypertensive individuals and the effect of duration of hypertension on atrial fibrillation & serum uric acid (SUA). Materials and Methods: Patients (age between 35-65years) were selected from outpatient OPD & IPD. A control group of 100 non hypertensive individuals and another group of 100 hypertensive patients were enrolled. Serum uric acid, Echocardiography: A Trans Thoracic Echocardiography (TTE) measurement of Left atrium diameter (LVST), interventricular septal thickness (LVPWT), posterior wall thickness, left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LV) and LV ejection fraction (LVEF) was recorded. Results: Hyperuricemia incidence in controls was 11% and hyperuricemia incidence in cases was 65 %. The incidence of hyperuricemia in cases with phase 1 of hypertension was 6.27±1.22 mg/dl and those with phase 2 of hypertension was 7.59±1mg/dl which was significant. Atrial fibrillation incidence was 4% in the hypertensive patients and the atrial fibrillation incidence in normotensive patients was 1%. Conclusion: Hypertension duration had a significant effect on the SUA levels and revealed that there was noteworthy increase in the SUA level in individuals with atrial fibrillation than those without atrial fibrillation
