Journal ArticleDOI

Gout and the risk of acute myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: The independent risk relationship between hyperuricemia and acute MI is confirmed and gouty arthritis is associated with an excess risk of acute MI, and this is not explained by its well-known links with renal function, metabolic syndrome, diuretic use, and traditional cardiovascular risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum uric acid and cardiovascular disease: Recent developments, and where do they leave us?

TL;DR: Trials of SUA-lowering therapy in hyperuricemic patients evaluating the effect on cardiovascular outcomes are justified in high-risk patients because the magnitude of excess risk attributable to high SUA is likely to be small in healthy individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term cardiovascular mortality among middle-aged men with gout.

TL;DR: Among middle-aged men, a diagnosis of gout accompanied by an elevated uric acid level imparts significant independent CVD mortality risk; among men with and without gout, the association between hyperuricemia and CVD was weak and did not persist when analysis was limited to men with hyperURicemia without a diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hyperuricemia and Incidence of Hypertension Among Men Without Metabolic Syndrome

TL;DR: It is concluded that the hyperuricemia–hypertension risk relationship is present among normotensive middle-aged men without diabetes/glucose intolerance or metabolic syndrome.
