Abstract

Data supporting an association between high levels of serum urate and cardiovascular disease have continued to emerge. Basic science data, small clinical trials, and epidemiologic studies have provided support for the idea of a true causal effect. In this paper, we present evidence about the association between hyperuricemia and selected cardiovascular diseases. Although data generated so far compellingly support pharmacologic urate-lowering therapy in selected cases with high cardiovascular risk, further evidence is necessary before widely advocating this approach to prevent cardiovascular outcomes putatively associated with hyperuricemia.
