Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hyperuricemia, characterized by elevated serum uric acid levels, has garnered significant attention in cardiovascular research due to its potential association with coronary heart disease (CHD). While some studies suggest hyperuricemia as a risk factor of CHD, others present conflicting findings. A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis is warranted to comprehensively summarize the previous studies and determine the association between hyperuricemia and CHD, thereby supporting clinical practice and future studies in this field. METHODS In this study, we will comprehensively search Medline, EMBase, Cochrane Central, ICTRP, and ClinicalTrials.gov, from inception to December 31, 2024. Prospective or retrospective cohort studies and case-control studies investigating the association between hyperuricemia and CHD will be included. Two independent reviewers will conduct study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment. The primary outcome will be the pooled relative risk of CHD associated with hyperuricemia by using random-effect model. Dose-response meta-analysis will be performed with linear and non-linear model to explore the the magnitude and direction of the association between serum uric acid levels and CHD risk. Subgroup analyses will be conducted based on uric acid test approaches and corresponding cut-off values and human races. Sensitivity analyses will assess the robustness of the results with leave-one-out method, while publication bias will be evaluated using funnel plots, Egger's test, and Begg's test. We will further use GRADE to evaluate the quality of the evidences provided by our systematic review. EXPECTED RESULTS From this systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis, we hope out findings will provide reliable conclusion and data support on the association between hyperuricemia and CHD. The transparent and replicable methodologies outlined in this protocol contribute to advancing understanding of hyperuricemia as a potentially modifiable risk factor for CHD, thus supporting evidence-based strategies for cardiovascular disease management. CONCLUSIONS This protocol describes a rigorous plan to systematically review and analyze the quantitative association between hyperuricemia and CHD risk. In a word, we will help further clinical practice and scientific studies in this field. TRIAL REGISTRATION This protocol was registered in PROSPERO CRD42024538553.

Kara AV, Inan H, Durmaz O, Ozdemir R. The relationship between serum uric acid level and carotid intima-media thickness in hemodialysis patients. Hemodial Int 2024. [PMID: 39098818 DOI: 10.1111/hdi.13174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION We aimed to evaluate the relationship between carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), which is a known indicator of cardiovascular risk and atherosclerosis, and uric acid level, which may be an easy marker for cardiovascular diseases due to its antioxidant and pro-oxidant properties in hemodialysis patients. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated 77 hemodialysis patients. The mean CIMT of these patients was measured and recorded by Doppler ultrasonography. Patients were divided into two groups according to their serum uric acid levels. Correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were used to define the relationship between study parameters. FINDINGS The mean CIMT levels in the normouricemic group and the hyperuricemic group were 0.95 ± 0.15 and 1.07 ± 0.15, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.001). There was a statistically significant and moderate linear correlation between serum uric acid level and mean CIMT (r = 0.402; p = 0.002). Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to identify variables that could independently affect the mean CIMT value. According to analysis, uric acid (p < 0.001), hypertension (p = 0.008), albumin (p = 0.029), and C-reactive protein (p = 0.042) were found independent risk factors for mean CIMT value. DISCUSSION We found a significant relationship between serum uric acid level and CIMT, which indicates carotid atherosclerosis. Serum uric acid level is a low-cost laboratory parameter that can be measured in almost all laboratories, and it may be valuable in the hemodialysis patient group to identify patients at high risk of carotid atherosclerosis.

Abstract
The physicochemical properties of dietary fiber in the gastrointestinal tract, such as hydration properties, adsorption properties, rheological properties, have an important influence on the physiological process of host digestion and absorption, leading to the differences in satiety and glucose and lipid metabolisms. Based on the diversified physicochemical properties of konjac glucomannan (KGM), it is meaningful to review the relationship of structural characteristics, physicochemical properties and glycose and lipid metabolism. Firstly, this paper bypassed the category of intestinal microbes, and explained the potential of dietary fiber in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism during nutrient digestion and absorption from the perspective of colloidal nutrition. Secondly, the modification methods of KGM to regulate its physicochemical properties were discussed and the relationship between KGM's molecular structure types and glycose and lipid metabolism were summarized. Finally, based on the characteristics of KGM, the application of KGM in the main material and ingredients of fat reduction food was reviewed. We hope this work could provide theoretical basis for the study of dietary fiber colloid nutrition science.

Ethnic disparities in cardiovascular and renal responses to canagliflozin between Asian and White patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A post hoc analysis of the CANVAS Program. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:878-890. [PMID: 38031821 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
AIM To assess the potential heterogeneity in cardiovascular (CV), renal and safety outcomes of canagliflozin between Whites and Asians, as well as these outcomes in each subgroup. MATERIALS AND METHODS The CANVAS Program enrolled 10 142 patients with type 2 diabetes, comprising 78.34% Whites and 12.66% Asians. CV, renal and safety outcomes were comprehensively analysed using Cox regression models, while intermediate markers were assessed using time-varying mixed-effects models. Racial heterogeneity was evaluated by adding a treatment-race interacion term. RESULTS Canagliflozin showed no significant racial disparities in the majority of the CV, renal and safety outcomes. The heterogeneity (p = .04) was observed on all-cause mortality, with reduced risk in Whites (hazard ratio 0.84; 95% confidence interval 0.71-0.99) and a statistically non-significant increased risk in Asians (hazard ratio 1.64; 95% confidence interval 0.94-2.90). There was a significant racial difference in acute kidney injury (p = .04) and a marginally significant racial heterogeneity for the composite of hospitalization for heart failure and CV death (p = .06) and serious renal-related adverse events (p = .07). CONCLUSION Canagliflozin reduced CV and renal risks similarly in Whites and Asians; however, there was a significant racial discrepancy in all-cause mortality. This distinction may be attributed to the fact that Asian patients exhibited diminished CV protection effects and more renal adverse events with canagliflozin, potentially resulting from the smaller reductions in weight and uric acid. These findings highlight the importance of investigating the impact of race on treatment response to sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and provide more precise treatment strategies.

Life's Essential 8, Life's Simple 7 and the odds of hyperuricaemia: results from the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort Study. Rheumatol Adv Pract 2024; 8:rkae009. [PMID: 38333884 PMCID: PMC10850937 DOI: 10.1093/rap/rkae009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Life's Essential 8 (LE8) is a new comprehensive metric based on Life's Simple 7 (LS7). Few studies have investigated the association between LE8 and the odds of hyperuricaemia (HUA). This study examined the association between LE8, LS7 with odds of HUA. Methods We cross-sectionally analysed data from the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort (CMEC) study. LE8 and LS7 were categorized as low, moderate and high. The CMEC provided an ideal and unique opportunity to characterize the association between LE8, LS7 and the odds of HUA. Results Of the 89 823 participants, 14 562 (16.2%) had HUA. A high level of LE8 was associated with lower odds of HUA after full adjustment. The adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were 1 (reference), 0.70 (95% CI 0.67, 0.73) and 0.45 (0.42, 0.48) across low, moderate and high LE8 groups, respectively (Ptrend < 0.001). Similar results were observed in LS7 and HUA. The adjusted ORs were 1 (reference), 0.68 (95% CI 0.65, 0.71) and 0.46 (95% CI 0.43, 0.49) across low, moderate and high LS7 groups, respectively (Ptrend < 0.001). There were significant interactions between LE8 and age, gender, ethnicity and drinking habits on HUA. Receiver operating characteristics analysis showed that the area under the curve for LE8 and LS7 were similar (0.638 and 0.635, respectively). Conclusion This study indicated a clearly inverse gradient association between the cardiovascular health metrics LE8 and LS7 and the odds of HUA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the relationship between hyperuricemia and maternal and neonatal complications in pregnant women. METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from the databases' inception to August 12, 2022. We included studies that reported results on the association between hyperuricemia and maternal and fetal outcomes among pregnant women. Using the random-effects model, the pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was calculated for each outcome analysis. RESULTS A total of 7 studies, including 8104 participants, were included. The pooled OR for pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) was 2.61 [0.26, 26.56] (z = 0.81, p = .4165; I2 = 96.3%). The pooled OR for preterm birth was 2.52 [1.92, 3.30] (z = 6.64, p < .0001; I2 = 0%). The pooled OR for low birth weight (LBW) was 3.44 [2.52, 4.70] (z = 7.77, p < .0001; I2 = 0%). The pooled OR for small gestational age (SGA) was 1.81 [0.60, 5.46] (z = 1.06, p = .2912; I2 = 88.6%). CONCLUSION Results of this meta-analysis indicate a positive relationship between hyperuricemia and PIH, preterm birth, LBW, and SGA in pregnant women.

Trends in baseline triglyceride-glucose index and association with predicted 10-year cardiovascular disease risk among type 2 diabetes patients in Thailand. Sci Rep 2023; 13:12960. [PMID: 37563268 PMCID: PMC10415402 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-40299-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Our study determined the trends of the TyG index and its relationship to predicted CVD risk among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). A serial cross-sectional study was conducted including 63,815 participants with T2D aged 30-74 years without a history of CVD. The predicted CVD risk was based on the Framingham Heart Study (FHS). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was utilized for identifying the cutoff point of TyG index to predict intermediate-to-high CVD risk. The relationship between TyG index and predicted CVD risk was tested using linear and logistic regression. Decreasing trends of TyG index were observed between 2014 and 2018 (p < 0.001). ROC curve analysis of the TyG index indicated an AUC of 0.57 (95% CI 0.56-0.57, p < 0.001) in predicting intermediate-to-high predicted CVD risk, with a cutoff value of TyG index > 9.2 (sensitivity of 55.7%, specificity of 46.8%). An independent relationship between the TyG index and predicted CVD risk was observed. High TyG index was independently associated with intermediate-to-high predicted CVD risk. From our study, the TyG index was positively related to predicted 10-year CVD risk. However, the predictive ability of the TyG index in predicting the intermediate-to-high predicted 10-year CVD risk among patients with T2D remained questionable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The objective of this study was to explore the association between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and cardiovascular risk factors in the Indian population. METHODS AND RESULTS This was a cross-sectional, population-based study. The study enrolled adults aged 20 years and above residing in rural, sub-urban, and urban. All participants completed a detailed questionnaire, underwent anthropometric measurements, and had blood samples collected. Participants were divided into three tertiles based on their SUA concentrations. A total of 2976 participants were included in this study, with 865 from rural, 1030 from sub-urban, and 1081 from urban populations. The mean values of cardiovascular risk factors were significantly higher in tertile 3 (p < 0.001) as compared to the other tertiles. However, we observed a negative trend between the increase of SUA and SUA/Scr ratio and HbA1c levels (Pearson correlation r = -0.068; p < 0.001 and r = -0.140; p < 0.001, respectively). The healthy and prediabetic groups did not show any significant change in HbA1c with increasing SUA levels, while an inverse trend was observed in diabetics. In the diabetic population, both men and women showed an inverse trend between increasing SUA levels and HbA1c in both known and newly diagnosed diabetes (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The study found a positive association between SUA levels and cardiovascular risk factors. However, HbA1c was inversely correlated with increasing SUA tertiles in both known and newly diagnosed diabetes, as compared to the general population. Additionally, both men and women with diabetes consistently showed an inverse relationship between increasing SUA/SCr ratio and HbA1c levels.

The interaction of persistent antiphospholipid antibodies positivity and cigarette smoking is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events: Cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis. Int J Cardiol 2023; 374:108-114. [PMID: 36496037 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2022.12.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The antiphospholipid antibody (aPL)-positivity was suggested as a nontraditional risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) and it was associated with cigarette smoking. The co-occurrence of them was usually reported in individuals with cardiovascular diseases. This study was to demonstrate their interaction on the increasing risk of cardiovascular events. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 826 consecutive male individuals who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) /percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were prospectively followed and classified into three groups based on different smoking statuses. The current smoking subjects had the highest occurrence of aPL-positivity, including aCL IgM (20.1%) and aβ2GP1 IgM (15.5%). IgM isotype positivity was an independent risk factor of CAD in the multivariate model, OR: 2.70 (1.52-4.80) for aCL IgM and OR:2.50 (1.35-4.63) for aβ2GP1 IgM.The interaction of current smoking and IgM isotype positivity was significantly associated with increased risk of CAD, OR: 8.75(4.59-16.66) for aCL IgM and OR: 8.78(4.28-17.98) for aβ2GP1 IgM. During about 3 years of follow-up, the smoking patients carrying persistent aPL positivity had the highest cumulative incidence of recurrent myocardial infarction and in-stent restenosis after CAD. CONCLUSION The interaction of current smoking and IgM isotype positivity was significantly associated with the increased risk of CAD, including positive aCL IgM and aβ2GP1 IgM. Cigarette smoking elevated the risk of subsequent cardiovascular events in the presence of IgM isotype positivity, including recurrent myocardial infarction and in-stent restenosis.

[PMID: 36926244 PMCID: PMC10011910 DOI: 10.4254/wjh.v15.i2.303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperuricemia is a prerequisite for the development of gout. Elevated serum uric acid (UA) levels result from either overproduction or decreased excretion. A positive correlation between serum UA levels, cirrhosis-related complications and the incidence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has been established, but it is unknown whether hyperuricemia results in worsening cirrhosis outcomes. We hypothesize that patients with cirrhosis will have poorer gout outcomes.
AIM To explore the link between cirrhosis and the incidence of gout-related complications.
METHODS This was a cross-sectional study. The national inpatient sample was used to identify patients hospitalized with gout, stratified based on a history of cirrhosis, from 2001 to 2013 via the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes. Primary outcomes were mortality, gout complications and joint interventions. The χ2 test and independent t-test were performed to assess categorical and continuous data, respectively. Multiple logistic regression was used to control for confounding variables.
RESULTS Patients without cirrhosis were older (70.37 ± 13.53 years vs 66.21 ± 12.325 years; P < 0.05). Most patients were male (74.63% in the cirrhosis group vs 66.83%; adjusted P < 0.05). Patients with cirrhosis had greater rates of mortality (5.49% vs 2.03%; adjusted P < 0.05), gout flare (2.89% vs 2.77%; adjusted P < 0.05) and tophi (0.97% vs 0.75%; adjusted P = 0.677). Patients without cirrhosis had higher rates of arthrocentesis (2.45% vs 2.21%; adjusted P < 0.05) and joint injections (0.72% vs 0.52%; adjusted P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION Gout complications were more common in cirrhosis. Those without cirrhosis had higher rates of interventions, possibly due to hesitancy with performing these interventions given the higher complication risk in cirrhosis.

Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2023; 33:315-322. [PMID: 36599782 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2022.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2022] [Revised: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Studies have shown that elevated serum uric acid (SUA) may increase the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). However, it is still disputable how mediate effects between metabolic diseases and hyperuricemia affect the incidence of CHD. This study aimed to explore whether metabolic diseases may mediate the connection from hyperuricemia at baseline to the elevated incidence risk of CHD during follow-ups. METHODS AND RESULTS Based on the Jinchang cohort, 48 001 subjects were followed for 9 years between June 2011 and December 2019. Multivariate-adjusted Cox regression models were applied to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) of CHD with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Significantly increased risks of CHD were observed in hyperuricemia (HR:1.46, 95%CI:1.28, 1.67) when compared with normouricemia population. The mediating effect model further demonstrated that metabolic diseases could mediate the association between hyperuricemia and CHD pathogenesis, partially for the combined metabolic diseases with mediation effects of 45.12%, 25.24% for hypertension, 28.58% for overweight or obese status, 29.05% for hypertriglyceridemia, 6.70% for hypercholesterolemia, 3.52% for low high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and 6.51% for high low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Hyperuricemia significantly increased the risk of incident CHD, and this association was partly mediated by metabolic diseases.

Abstract
This tutorial shows how to perform a meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies (DTA) based on a 2 × 2 table available for each included primary study. First, univariate methods for meta-analysis of sensitivity and specificity are presented. Then the use of univariate logistic regression models with and without random effects for e.g. sensitivity is described. Diagnostic odds ratios (DOR) are then introduced to combine sensitivity and specificity into one single measure and to assess publication bias. Finally, bivariate random effects models using the exact binomial likelihood to describe within-study variability and a normal distribution to describe between-study variability are presented as the method of choice. Based on this model summary receiver operating characteristic (sROC) curves are constructed using a regression model logit-true positive rate (TPR) over logit-false positive rate (FPR). Also it is demonstrated how to perform the necessary calculations with the freely available software R. As an example a meta-analysis of DTA studies using Procalcitonin as a diagnostic marker for sepsis is presented.

Hyperuricemia predicts increased cardiovascular events in patients with chronic coronary syndrome after percutaneous coronary intervention: A nationwide cohort study from Japan. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 9:1062894. [PMID: 36704454 PMCID: PMC9871893 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.1062894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The causal relationship between hyperuricemia and cardiovascular diseases is still unknown. We hypothesized that hyperuricemic patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) had a higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Methods This was a large-scale multicenter cohort study. We enrolled patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) after PCI between April 2013 and March 2019 using the database from the Clinical Deep Data Accumulation System (CLIDAS), and compared the incidence of MACE, defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and hospitalization for heart failure, between hyperuricemia and non-hyperuricemia groups. Results In total, 9,936 patients underwent PCI during the study period. Of these, 5,138 patients with CCS after PCI were divided into two group (1,724 and 3,414 in the hyperuricemia and non-hyperuricemia groups, respectively). The hyperuricemia group had a higher prevalence of hypertension, atrial fibrillation, history of previous hospitalization for heart failure, and baseline creatinine, and a lower prevalence of diabetes than the non-hyperuricemia group, but the proportion of men and age were similar between the two groups. The incidence of MACE in the hyperuricemia group was significantly higher than that in the non-hyperuricemia group (13.1 vs. 6.4%, log-rank P < 0.001). Multivariable Cox regression analyses revealed that hyperuricemia was significantly associated with increased MACE [hazard ratio (HR), 1.52; 95% confidential interval (CI), 1.23-1.86] after multiple adjustments for age, sex, body mass index, estimated glomerular filtration rate, left main disease or three-vessel disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, history of myocardial infarction, and history of hospitalization for heart failure. Moreover, hyperuricemia was independently associated with increased hospitalization for heart failure (HR, 2.19; 95% CI, 1.69-2.83), but not cardiovascular death or myocardial infarction after multiple adjustments. Sensitive analyses by sex and diuretic use, B-type natriuretic peptide level, and left ventricular ejection fraction showed similar results. Conclusion CLIDAS revealed that hyperuricemia was associated with increased MACE in patients with CCS after PCI. Further clinical trials are needed whether treating hyperuricemia could reduce cardiovascular events or not.

Abstract
AIMS This cohort study intended to assess the association between serum uric acid levels and incidence of type 2 diabetes in a Japanese population. METHODS Individuals who participated a medical health checkup program carried out by Panasonic Corporation from 2008 to 2018 were included in this study. A total of 122,123 participants (92,718 men and 29,405 women) were included. During the research period, 6,386 participants developed type 2 diabetes. RESULTS Multivariate analysis showed that, in men, serum uric acid levels were not significantly associated with incident type 2 diabetes after adjusting for diabetes risk factors. However, in women, the risk of type 2 diabetes incidence was higher in the group with uric acid levels 5.1-6.0 mg/dL (hazard ratio, 2.01 [95 % confidence interval: 1.26-3.42]) or > 6.1 mg/dL (hazard ratio, 1.85 [95 % confidence interval: 1.11-3.22]) than in the group with uric acid levels ≤ 3 mg/dL. Furthermore, in women, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and optimized cut-off values of uric acid for the incidence of type 2 diabetes at 10 years were 0.720 and 4.8 mg/dL, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Serum uric acid levels were associated with incident type 2 diabetes in Japanese women but not in Japanese men.

Abstract
This cross-sectional study examines the association between hyperuricemia and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Data from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study from 2004 to 2016 were analyzed. Among the 173,209 participants, we selected 11,453 patients with hyperuricemia and 152,255 controls (non-hyperuricemia). We obtained the history of CVDs (stroke and ischemic heart disease [IHD]) from all participants. Crude and adjusted odds ratios (aORs) (age, income group, body mass index, smoking, alcohol consumption, anthropometry data, and nutritional intake) for CVDs were analyzed using a logistic regression model. Participants with hyperuricemia reported a significantly higher prevalence of stroke (2.4% vs 1.3%) and IHD (5.6% vs 2.8%) than controls did (P < .001). Participants with hyperuricemia had a significantly higher aOR for CVD than the controls. The aOR of hyperuricemia for stroke was 1.22 (95% confidence interval = 1.07-1.39, P = .004). When analyzed by subgroup according to age and sex, this result was only persistent in women. The aOR of hyperuricemia for IHD was 1.45 (95% confidence interval = 1.33-1.59, P < .001). In the subgroup analyses, the results were similar, except in young men. Hyperuricemia was significantly associated with CVD in the Korean population.

Abstract
This Guide for Living Donor Kidney Transplantation (LDKT) has been prepared with the sponsorship of the Spanish Society of Nephrology (SEN), the Spanish Transplant Society (SET), and the Spanish National Transplant Organization (ONT). It updates evidence to offer the best chronic renal failure treatment when a potential living donor is available. The core aim of this Guide is to supply clinicians who evaluate living donors and transplant recipients with the best decision-making tools, to optimise their outcomes. Moreover, the role of living donors in the current KT context should recover the level of importance it had until recently. To this end the new forms of incompatible HLA and/or ABO donation, as well as the paired donation which is possible in several hospitals with experience in LDKT, offer additional ways to treat renal patients with an incompatible donor. Good results in terms of patient and graft survival have expanded the range of circumstances under which living renal donors are accepted. Older donors are now accepted, as are others with factors that affect the decision, such as a borderline clinical history or alterations, which when evaluated may lead to an additional number of transplantations. This Guide does not forget that LDKT may lead to risk for the donor. Pre-donation evaluation has to centre on the problems which may arise over the short or long-term, and these have to be described to the potential donor so that they are able take them into account. Experience over recent years has led to progress in risk analysis, to protect donors' health. This aspect always has to be taken into account by LDKT programmes when evaluating potential donors. Finally, this Guide has been designed to aid decision-making, with recommendations and suggestions when uncertainties arise in pre-donation studies. Its overarching aim is to ensure that informed consent is based on high quality studies and information supplied to donors and recipients, offering the strongest possible guarantees.

Association between serum uric acid level and bone mineral density at multiple skeletal sites in middle-aged and elderly men: a cross-sectional study of a healthy population in Taiwan. Arch Osteoporos 2022; 17:142. [PMID: 36376511 DOI: 10.1007/s11657-022-01186-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
This study revealed that serum uric acid (sUA) levels were not associated with bone mineral density (BMD) at different skeletal sites in middle-aged and elderly men, even adjusting for confounding variables. Nevertheless, a positive association was only found between sUA levels and BMD at all skeletal sites in the normal BMI group. INTRODUCTION Previous studies have reported an association between serum uric acid (sUA) levels and bone mineral density (BMD). However, their findings are controversial and limited to adult men in the general population. This study was aimed at examining the association between sUA levels and BMD at multiple skeletal sites in middle-aged and elderly men. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis of BMD at different skeletal sites and sUA levels was conducted on 918 men (age: 50.83 ± 7.95) using data from the Ditmanson Research Database. The participants were categorized into four groups based on quartiles of the sUA level, and BMD were assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Multivariate linear regression models were utilized to investigate the association between sUA levels and BMD. Further, subgroup analyses were performed. RESULTS After adjusting for potential confounding factors, sUA as a continuous variable was significantly associated with BMD at the femoral neck only (β, 95% confidence interval: 0.007 [0.001-0.013]). However, in the categorical analysis, no significant differences were detected in terms of BMD at different skeletal sites across the different sUA quartile groups. Moreover, if the body mass index (BMI) was < 24 kg/m2 for each unit increase in sUA level, the spine, femoral neck, and total hip BMD increased by 0.014, 0.013, and 0.015 g/cm2, respectively. CONCLUSION The sUA level was not associated with BMD at different skeletal sites in middle-aged and elderly men. Nevertheless, a positive association was only found between sUA levels and BMD at all skeletal sites in the normal weight group.

The subjects were divided into the high UA group (uric acid >6.5 mg/dL for males, >5.8 mg/dL for females) or the normal UA group based on initial serum UA level measured at admission. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. A total of 4141 (70.3%) and 1747 (29.7%) patients were classified into the normal UA group and high UA groups, respectively. Over a median follow-up of 5.02 (3.07, 7.55) years, 929 (21.5%) and 532 (34.1%) patients died in each group. Cox regression analysis identified high UA levels as an independent predictor of all-cause mortality (unadjusted hazard ratio (HR) 1.69 [95% CI 1.52−1.88]; p < 0.001, adjusted HR 1.18 [95% CI: 1.05−1.32]; p = 0.005). The results were consistent after propensity-score matching and inverse probability weighting to adjust for baseline differences. The predictive accuracies of conventional clinical factor discrimination and reclassification were significantly improved upon the addition of hyperuricemia (C-index 0.788 [95% CI 0.775−0.801]; p = 0.005, IDI 0.004 [95% CI 0.002−0.006]; p < 0.001, NRI 0.263 [95% CI 0.208−0.318]; p < 0.001).

Abstract
Elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels have been associated with several cardiovascular risk factors and the progression of coronary artery disease. In the setting of acute myocardial infarction, increasing evidence suggests that high SUA levels could be related to adverse outcomes. Interestingly elevated SUA levels have been linked to endothelial dysfunction, inflammation and oxidative stress. The aim of this review is to discuss the potential negative effects of SUA in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention, analyzing the possible underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Observational studies have examined serum urate levels in relation to coronary heart disease (CHD) and myocardial infarction (MI). Whether these associations are causal remains controversial, due to confounding factors and reverse causality. We aim to investigate the causality of these associations using Mendelian randomization method. METHODS AND RESULTS Instrumental variables were obtained from the largest genome-wide association studies of serum urate (457,690 individuals) to date. Summary statistics were from CARDIoGRAMplusC4D consortium (60,801 CHD cases; 43,676 MI cases), FinnGen (21,012 CHD cases; 12,801 MI cases), UK Biobank (10,157 CHD cases; 7018 MI cases), and Biobank Japan (29,319 CHD cases). Inverse-variance weighted method was applied as the main results. Other statistical methods and reverse MR analysis were conducted in the supplementary analyses. Elevated genetically determined serum urate levels were associated with increased risks of CHD and MI. The association pattern remained for the datasets in FinnGen, the combined results of three independent data sources (CHD: odds ratio (OR), 1.10; 95%CI, 1.06-1.15; p = 4.2 × 10-6; MI: OR, 1.12; 95%CI, 1.07-1.18; p = 2.7 × 10-6), and East Asian population. Interestingly, sex-specific subgroup analyses revealed that these associations kept in men only, but not among women in individuals of European ancestry. No consistent evidence was found for the causal effect of CHD or MI on serum urate levels. CONCLUSION We provide consistent evidence for the causal effect of genetically predicted serum urate levels on CHD and MI, but not the reverse effect. Urate-lowering therapy may be of cardiovascular benefit in the prevention of CHD and MI, especially for men.

Abstract
Background Little is known about the association between hyperuricemia and ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation (VT/VF) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Methods The data from a cohort of STEMI patients undergoing PPCI at our center from January 2013 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The endpoint of the study was the occurrence of VT/VF, including (1) non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (nsVT) on Holter monitoring; (2) sustained ventricular tachycardia (SVT)/VF on cardiac monitoring. Results Of the 634 patients included in the study, 147 (23.2%) of them had hyperuricemia. The occurrence of VT/VF after PPCI was significantly higher in patients with hyperuricemia (19.0 vs. 9.4%, p = 0.001) compared with those without hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia was associated with a significantly higher risk of VF/VT (odds ratio (OR) 2.11; 95% CI 1.11–4.03; p = 0.024). The strength of this association remained statistically after adjustments for age, sex, history of hypertension, estimated glomerular filtration rate, hypersensitive C reactive protein, plasma natrium, peak troponin I, fasting glucose, B-type natriuretic peptides and VT/VF in PPCI (adjusted odds ratio 2.73; 95% CI 1.19–6.27; p = 0.018). Conclusions There is a significant association between hyperuricemia and increased prevalence of VT/VF in STEMI patients after PPCI, independently of multiple risk factors and potential confounders.

Abstract
Background Urate is increasingly recognized as a cardiovascular risk factor. It has been associated with hypertension, metabolic syndrome, obesity, chronic kidney disease and diabetes. Its prognostic role is less clear. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association between serum urate and pulse wave velocity, a measure of arterial stiffness in hypertensive adolescents and young adults. Methods 269 adolescents and young adults with hypertension were included in the study. From all, anthropometric, blood pressure, pulse wave velocity and serum urate measurements were made. Variables were compared between sex, participants with or without obesity and with or without elevated urate. Results In multiple regression analysis for urate as dependent variable gender and diastolic pressure were found to be statistically significant. The difference between urate levels were found between boys and girls (p < 0.001), obese and non-obese (p < 0.001); however, pulse wave velocity did not differ between hyper- and eu-uricemic group (p = 0.162). Conclusion Associations between urate, gender, diastolic blood pressure and obesity were confirmed, however, no significant associations between pulse wave velocity and urate were detected.

Abstract
Several studies have shown that high uric acid (UA) and low serum albumin (SA) values increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We determined whether the uric acid/albumin ratio (UAR) is a predictor of mortality in STEMI patients. All patients who presented at our center with a diagnosis of STEMI and underwent percutaneous intervention from 2015 to 2020 were screened consecutively; 4599 patients were included. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate UAR, and adjusted predictors obtained from laboratory findings and clinical characteristics contributed to mortality. Also, a regression model was presented with a directed acyclic graph (DAG). The median age of the patients was 58 years (IQR [interquartile range]: 50–67); 3581 patients (77.9%) were male. The incidence of mortality in the entire patient group was 11.9%. Median follow-up duration of all groups was 42 months. Multivariate Cox proportional regression (model-1) analysis showed age (increase 50 to 67 years; HR [hazard ratio]: 1.34, 95% CI 1.18–1.52) and UAR (increase 1.15–1.73; HR: 1.33, 95% CI 1.16–1.52) were associated with mortality. UAR may be a prognostic factor for mortality in STEMI patients and an easily accessible parameter to identify high-risk patients.

Abstract
Currently, the most widely used screening methods for hyperuricemia (HUA) involves invasive laboratory tests, which are lacking in many rural hospitals in China. This study explored the use of non-invasive physical examinations to construct a simple prediction model for HUA, in order to reduce the economic burden and invasive operations such as blood sampling, and provide some help for the health management of people in poor areas with backward medical resources. Data of 9252 adults from April to June 2017 in the Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical College were collected and divided randomly into a training set (n = 6364) and a validation set (n = 2888) at a ratio of 7:3. In the training set, non-invasive physical examination indicators of age, gender, body mass index (BMI) and prevalence of hypertension were included for logistic regression analysis, and a nomogram model was established. The classification and regression tree (CART) algorithm of the decision tree model was used to build a classification tree model. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve and decision curve analyses (DCA) were used to test the distinction, accuracy and clinical applicability of the two models. The results showed age, gender, BMI and prevalence of hypertension were all related to the occurrence of HUA. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the nomogram model was 0.806 and 0.791 in training set and validation set, respectively. The AUC of the classification tree model was 0.802 and 0.794 in the two sets, respectively, but were not statistically different. The calibration curves and DCAs of the two models performed well on accuracy and clinical practicality, which suggested these models may be suitable to predict HUA for rural setting.

Abstract
Background The prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) and gout continues to increase in China. Research suggests that HUA may be related to many diseases other than gout. However, further population research is required to investigate the association between HUA and metabolic syndromes. This study sought to investigate the prevalence of HUA in an average population in China, and the association between serum uric acid (UA) levels and related metabolic disorders. Methods This multicenter retrospective real-world study examined the hospital information system data of 4 tertiary hospitals in 3 provinces in China. The data of patients aged between 18 and 80 years, who had attended at least 1 medical appointment at which their UA level was recorded, were analyzed to evaluate associations between UA levels and metabolic disorders. Results Among the 374,506 enrolled subjects (49.7% male; mean age 51.5 years old), the overall prevalence of HUA and gout were 14.8% and 0.5%, respectively. The prevalence was higher among males than females (17.6% vs. 12.0%, 0.8% vs. 0.1%; both P<0.001). Groups exhibiting higher UA levels had increased adjusted odds ratios for dyslipidemia and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in both sexes. Changes in UA levels from the baseline were negatively correlated with changes in the estimated glomerular filtration rate and hemoglobin A1c among both sexes (all P<0.001), and were positively correlated with changes in total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (all P<0.05) among males, and changes in TC, TG, LDL-C and glucose (all P<0.001) among females. Conclusions HUA is associated with dyslipidemia and CKD both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Similar phenomena were observed in both sexes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite the high incidence and mortality of cardiovascular events in hyperuricemia patients, the role of serum uric acid in cardiovascular diseases is still controversial. The aim of this meta-analysis was to explore the difference of carotid intima-media thickness in hyperuricemia and control groups. METHODS We performed this meta-analysis by searching the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and Web of Science databases up to July 2020. The 95% confidence intervals and standard mean differences were calculated to analyze the differences in carotid intima-media thickness in hyperuricemia groups and control groups. Sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis and meta-regression were used to explore the sources of heterogeneity. Publication bias was evaluated by funnel plot and Begg's regression test. We used Stata 14.0 software to complete our analyses. RESULTS A total of 8 articles were included. The results showed that there was a significant increase in carotid intima-media thickness in the hyperuricemia groups compared with the control groups [SMD = 0.264, 95% CI (0.161-0.366), P < 0.001]. Subgroup analyses showed that age, sample size, blood pressure and body mass index were not the source of heterogeneity. Meta-regression enrolled the method of CIMT measurement, location, age, smoking and diabetes mellitus as categorical variables, but none of these factors was found to be significant in the model. The Begg's test value (P = 0.174) was greater than 0.05, indicating there was no publication bias. CONCLUSION The results showed that carotid intima-media thickness was increased in hyperuricemia patients compared with controls, which indicated that hyperuricemia patients may have a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases.

The Role of Uric Acid in Acute and Chronic Coronary Syndromes. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10204750. [PMID: 34682873 PMCID: PMC8540994 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10204750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2021] [Revised: 10/12/2021] [Accepted: 10/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Uric acid (UA) is the final product of the catabolism of endogenous and exogenous purine nucleotides. While its association with articular gout and kidney disease has been known for a long time, new data have demonstrated that UA is also related to cardiovascular (CV) diseases. UA has been identified as a significant determinant of many different outcomes, such as all-cause and CV mortality, and also of CV events (mainly Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) and even strokes). Furthermore, UA has been related to the development of Heart Failure, and to a higher mortality in decompensated patients, as well as to the onset of atrial fibrillation. After a brief introduction on the general role of UA in CV disorders, this review will be focused on UA's relationship with CV outcomes, as well as on the specific features of patients with ACS and Chronic Coronary Syndrome. Finally, two issues which remain open will be discussed: the first is about the identification of a CV UA cut-off value, while the second concerns the possibility that the pharmacological reduction of UA is able to lower the incidence of CV events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of human death worldwide. Genetic factors play an important role in the occurrence of CHD. Our study is designed to investigate the influence of CYP7B1 polymorphisms on CHD risk. METHODS In this case-control study, 508 CHD patients and 510 healthy individuals were recruited to determine the correlation between CYP7B1 polymorphisms (rs7836768, rs6472155, and rs2980003) and CHD risk. The associations were evaluated by computing odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) with logistic regression analysis. The association between SNP-SNP interaction and CHD susceptibility was carried out by multifactor dimensionality reduction analyses. RESULTS Our study found that rs6472155 is significantly associated with an increased risk of CHD in age > 60 years (OR 2.20, 95% CI = 1.07-4.49, p = 0.031), women (OR 3.17, 95% CI = 1.19-8.44, p = 0.021), and non-smokers (3.43, 95% CI = 1.16-10.09, p = 0.025). Rs2980003 polymorphism has a lower risk of CHD in drinkers (OR 0.47, 95% CI = 0.24-0.91, p = 0.025). Further analyses based on false-positive report probability validated these significant results. Besides, it was found that rs6472155 polymorphism was associated with uric acid level (p = 0.034). CONCLUSION Our study indicated that CYP7B1 polymorphisms are related to the risk of CHD, which provides a new perspective for prevent of CHD.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia, has been traditionally related to nephrolithiasis and gout. However, it has also been associated with the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiometabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Pathophysiologically, elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels may be associated with abnormal lipid and glucose metabolism. In this narrative review, we consider the associations between hyperuricemia, hyperglycemia, atherosclerosis and thrombosis. Furthermore, we comment on the available evidence linking elevated SUA levels with the incidence and outcomes of coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver in subjects with T2DM. The effects of antidiabetic drugs (e.g. metformin, pioglitazone, sulfonylureas, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and insulin) on SUA concentrations are also reviewed.

Abstract
The description of gout dates back almost 5000 years, and scientific interest in uric acid increased when it was found to be involved in the pathogenesis of gout. Since then, many basic and clinical studies have assessed the implications of uric acid for the oxidative system, inflammation, and cardiovascular and renal outcomes. Uric acid-lowering therapy failed to improve clinical hard outcomes in asymptomatic hyperuricemia, and it is retained in symptomatic hyperuricemia. Dietary and lifestyle modifications are critical to manage hyperuricemia. More studies are warranted to investigate the role of uric acid-lowering drugs on cardiovascular outcomes.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to determine the association between serum uric acid (UA) levels and cardiovascular events in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted in 2227 hospitalized patients with T2DM. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to assess the association between serum UA and cardiovascular events, including cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, heart failure, unstable angina, and arrhythmias requiring hospitalization. RESULTS Among 1314 men, 143 (10.9%) experienced cardiovascular events. Serum UA level was not associated with the risk of cardiovascular events (hazard ratio [HR] per 100 μmol/L increase in serum UA: 1.12, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.90-1.40). Among 913 women, 96 (10.5%) experienced cardiovascular events. For every 100 μmol/L increase in serum UA level, the risk of experiencing a cardiovascular event increased by 27% (HR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.02-1.57). CONCLUSIONS In hospitalized patients with T2DM, baseline serum UA levels were positively associated with cardiovascular events in women, but not in men. Serum UA levels may be a significant independent risk factor for cardiovascular events in women with T2DM.

Abstract
In type 2 diabetes, hyperuricemia is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the metabolic syndrome (MetS), but associations in type 1 diabetes (T1D) have not been well-defined. This study examined the relationships between serum urate (SU) concentrations, clinical and biochemical factors, and subsequent cardiovascular events in a well-characterized cohort of adults with T1D. In 973 participants with T1D in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications Study (DCCT/EDIC), associations were defined between SU, measured once in blood collected 1997–2000, and (a) concurrent MetS and (b) incident ‘any CVD’ and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) through 2013. SU was higher in men than women [mean (SD): 4.47 (0.99) vs. 3.39 (0.97) mg/dl, respectively, p < 0.0001], and was associated with MetS features in both (men: p = 0.0016; women: p < 0.0001). During follow-up, 110 participants (11%) experienced “any CVD”, and 53 (5%) a MACE. Analyzed by quartiles, SU was not associated with subsequent CVD or MACE. In women, SU as a continuous variable was associated with MACE (unadjusted HR: 1.52; 95% CI 1.07–2.16; p = 0.0211) even after adjustment for age and HbA1c (HR: 1.47; 95% CI 1.01–2.14; p = 0.0467). Predominantly normal range serum urate concentrations in T1D were higher in men than women and were associated with features of the MetS. In some analyses of women only, SU was associated with subsequent MACE. Routine measurement of SU to assess cardiovascular risk in T1D is not merited. Trial registration clinicaltrials.gov NCT00360815 and NCT00360893.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Contrast associated-acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) has been associated with adverse outcomes after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, early markers of CA-AKI are still needed to improve risk stratification. We investigated the association between elevated serum uric acid (eSUA) and CA-AKI in patients with STEMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). METHODS AND RESULTS Serum creatinine (Scr) was measured at admission and 24, 48 and 72 h after pPCI. CA-AKI was defined as an increase of 25% (CA-AKI 25%) or 0.5 mg/dl (CA-AKI 0.5) of Scr level above the baseline after 48 h following contrast administration. Multivariable analyses to investigate CA-AKI predictors were performed by binary logistic regression and multivariable backward logistic regression model. In the 3023 patients considered, CA-AKI was more frequent among patients with eSUA as compared with patients with normal SUA levels, considering both CA-AKI definitions (CA-AKI25%: 20.8% vs 16.2%, p < 0.012; CA-AKI 0.5: 10.1% vs 5.8%, p < 0.001). The association between eSUA and CA-AKI was confirmed at multivariable analyses (CA-AKI 25%: odd ratio 1.32, 95% CI 1.03-1.69, p = 0.027; CA-AKI 0.5: odd ratio 1.76, 95% CI 1.11-2.79, p = 0.016). CONCLUSION Elevated serum uric acid is associated with CA-AKI after reperfusion in patients with STEMI treated with pPCI.

Abstract
Low and high serum uric acid levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, whether there is a similar association between serum uric acid levels and blood pressure abnormalities has not yet been elucidated. Data from 236,221 individuals (age, 56.0 ± 15.0 years; 107,146 men) who underwent routine health checkups were analyzed. Participants with a serum uric acid level ≤2.0 mg/dL were separated, and the remaining participants were divided into quartiles according to their serum uric acid levels. Among each group, the proportions of participants with high blood pressure (≥130/80 mmHg, and/or medication) and hypertension (≥140/90 mmHg, and/or medication), were calculated. The adjusted odds ratio of each group compared to the group with the lowest proportion of blood pressure abnormalities was calculated. The participants were divided into five groups according to their serum uric acid levels, ≤2.0, 2.1-4.0, 4.1-5.0, 5.1-6.0, and ≥6.1 mg/dL, and the prevalence of high blood pressure was 49.0, 44.6, 52.3, 58.6, and 65.3% and that of hypertension was 31.0, 27.4, 33.5, 38.7, and 43.8%, respectively. Compared to the second-lowest serum uric acid group (2.1-4.0 mg/dL), groups with higher serum uric acid levels (4.1-5.0, 5.1-6.0, and ≥6.1 mg/dL), as well as the group with the lowest serum uric acid level (≤2.0 mg/dL), showed significantly higher odds ratios for high blood pressure and hypertension. High and low serum uric acid levels were significantly associated with an increased prevalence of high blood pressure and followed a J-shaped curve.

Abstract
Background: Previous studies have demonstrated an association between hyperuricemia and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The Framingham study confirmed that patients with high atherosclerotic risks (HARs) had worse prognoses. However, after adjusting for confounding factors, the association between serum uric acid (SUA) and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality remains unclear, especially for HAR patients. Objective: The aim of this study was to reveal the relationship of SUA with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in HAR patients. Methods: This multicenter cohort study enrolled 3,047 participants, and the follow-up was 68.85 ± 11.37 months. Factors related to cardiovascular and all-cause mortality were tested by multivariate Cox regression analysis. Restricted cubic splines (RCSs) with knots were used to explore the shape of the dose-response relationship with SUA and the hazard ratio (HR) of all-cause and CVD mortality. SUA transformed by RCS was added to the Cox regression model as an independent variable, and all-cause and CVD mortality scores were calculated. Survival receiver operating characteristic curves were produced using a regression model predicting the score. Results: SUA demonstrated a "U-shaped" relationship with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. SUA predicted all-cause and CVD mortality, with cutoff values of values of >370.5 μmol/L for males and >327.65 μmol/L for females and <180.5 μmol/L for males and <165.7 μmol/L for females, respectively. The survival ROC curve indicated that SUA is able to predict all-cause and CVD mortality, with areas under the curve of 0.702 and 0.711, respectively. The HRs of all-cause mortality (male and female) with hyperuricemia and hypouricemia were 2.08 and 2.01 and 2.04 and 1.98, respectively, and the HRs of CVD mortality (male and female) were 2.09 and 1.79, and 2.02 and 1.89, respectively. Conclusion: Abnormal SUA levels were significant and independent risk factors for all-cause and CVD mortality. Hyperuricemia and hypouricemia increased mortality in both males and females. Routine SUA evaluation and intensive management are needed for HAR patients. Clinical Trial Registration: www.ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT03616769.

Early onset of hyperuricemia is associated with increased cardiovascular disease and mortality risk. Clin Res Cardiol 2021; 110:1096-1105. [PMID: 33846840 DOI: 10.1007/s00392-021-01849-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2020] [Accepted: 03/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperuricemia is associated with cardiovascular mortality, but the association of the age at hyperuricemia onset with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality is still unclear. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the associations of hyperuricemia onset age with CVD and all-cause mortality. METHODS A total of 82,219 participants free of hyperuricemia and CVD from 2006 to 2015 in the Kailuan study were included. The analysis cohort comprised 18,311 new-onset hyperuricemia patients and controls matched for age and sex from the general population. Adjusted associations were estimated using Cox models for CVD and all-cause mortality across a range of ages. RESULTS There were 1,021 incident cases of CVD (including 215 myocardial infarctions, 814 strokes) and 1459 deaths during an average of 5.2 years of follow-up. Patients with hyperuricemia onset at an age < 45 years had the highest hazard ratios (HRs) (1.78 (1.14-2.78) for CVD and 1.64 (1.04-2.61) for all-cause mortality relative to controls). The HRs of CVD and all-cause mortality were 1.32 (1.05-1.65) and 1.40 (1.08-1.81) for the 45-54 years age group, 1.23 (0.97-1.56) and 1.37 (1.11 to 1.72) for the 55-64 years age group, and 1.10 (0.88-1.39) and 0.88 (0.76-1.01) for the ≥ 65 years age group, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The age at hyperuricemia onset was identified as an important predictor of CVD and all-cause mortality risk, and the prediction was more powerful in those with a younger age of hyperuricemia onset. Early onset of hyperuricemia is associated with increased cardiovascular disease and mortality risk.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:585776. [PMID: 33816569 PMCID: PMC8017152 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.585776] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2020] [Accepted: 02/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Insulin resistance (IR) is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this study, the association of the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, a simple surrogate marker of IR, with arterial stiffness and 10-year CVD risk was evaluated. Methods: A total of 13,706 participants were enrolled. Anthropometric and cardiovascular risk factors were determined in all participants, while serum insulin levels were only measured in 955 participants. Arterial stiffness was measured through brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), and 10-year CVD risk was evaluated using the Framingham risk score. Results: All participants were classified into four groups according to the quartile of the TyG index. BaPWV and the percentage of participants in the 10-year CVD risk categories significantly increased with increasing quartiles of the TyG index. Logistic regression analysis showed that the TyG index was independently associated with a high baPWV and 10-year CVD risk after adjusting for traditional CVD risk factors. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) of the TyG index for predicting a high baPWV was 0.708 (95%CI 0.693–0.722, P < 0.001) in women, higher than that in men. However, the association of the homeostatic model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR) with a high baPWV and the 10-year CVD risk was absent when adjusting for multiple risk factors in 955 participants. Conclusions: The TyG index is independently associated with arterial stiffness and 10-year CVD risk.

Changes in clinical trials of endocrine disorder and metabolism and nutrition disorder drugs in mainland China over 2010-2019. Pharmacol Res Perspect 2021; 9:e00729. [PMID: 33660404 PMCID: PMC7931124 DOI: 10.1002/prp2.729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2020] [Revised: 01/18/2021] [Accepted: 01/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
With the improvements in relevant policies, laws, and regulations regarding drug clinical trials in China, the quantity and quality of drug clinical trials have gradually improved, and the development prospects of drug clinical trials for endocrine disorders and metabolism and nutrition disorders are promising. Based on information from the clinical trials from the online drug clinical trial registration platform of the National Medical Products Administration, we aimed to review and evaluate the development of clinical trials of drugs for endocrine disorders and metabolism and nutrition disorders in mainland China from 2010 to 2019, as well as the trends over time. A total of 861 trials were carried out on 254 types of drugs for endocrine disorders and metabolism and nutrition disorders, among which 531 (61.67%) involved endocrine disorders, and 330 (38.33%) addressed metabolism and nutrition disorders. The annual number of clinical trials has been increasing gradually, with a significant increase in 2017. Among them, the proportion of clinical trials with Chinese epidemiological characteristics was relatively large (Wu, Annual Report on Development Health Management and Health Industry in China, 2018). The largest number of trials were for diabetes drugs (55.63%), followed by trials of drugs for hyperlipidemia (19.4%) and those for hyperuricemia (7.9%). It was found that the geographical area of the leading units also showed obvious unevenness according to the analysis of the test unit data. Based on the statistics and evaluation of the data, comprehensive information is provided to support the cooperation of global pharmaceutical R&D companies and research units in China and the development of international multicenter clinical trials in China. This work additionally provides clinical trial units with a self‐evaluation of scientific research competitiveness and hospital development strategies. At the same time, it provides a reference with basic data for sponsors and stakeholders in these trials to determine their development strategy goals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Despite elevated serum uric acid (eSUA) has been identified as independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, its prognostic value in the setting of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is still controversial. Although the mechanisms of this possible relationship are unsettled it has been suggested that eSUA could trigger the inflammatory response. This study sought to investigate the association between eSUA with short- and long-term mortality and with inflammatory response in patients with STEMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). METHODS AND RESULTS Blood samples were collected on admission and at 24 and 48 h after pPCI: the inflammatory biomarkers C-reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil count and neutrophil to lymphocytes ratio (NLR) were considered. Baseline eSUA was defined as ≥6.8 mg/dl. Cumulative 30-days and 1-year mortalities were estimated using the Kaplan-Meyer analysis. Multivariable analyses were performed by Cox proportional hazard models. In the 2369 patients with STEMI considered, 30-day mortality was 5.8% among patients with eSUA and 2% among patient with normal SUA level (p < 0.001); 1-year mortality was 8.5% vs 4%, respectively (p < 0.001). At multivariable analyses eSUA was an independent predictor of 30-day mortality (HR 1.196, 95%CI 1.006-1.321, p = 0.042) and 1-year mortality (HR 1.178, 95%CI 1.052-1.320, p = 0.005). eSUA patients presented higher values in on admission CRP (p < 0.001) and in neutrophil count and NLR at 24 h (respectively, p = 0.020 and p < 0.001) and at 48 h (p = 0.018 and p < 0.001) compared to patients with normal SUA levels. CONCLUSIONS Elevated serum uric acid is associated with higher short- and long-term mortality and with a greater inflammatory response after reperfusion in patients with STEMI treated with primary PCI.

How Are We Managing Patients with Hyperuricemia and Gout: A Cross Sectional Study Assessing Knowledge and Attitudes of Primary Care Physicians? INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18031234. [PMID: 33573113 PMCID: PMC7908186 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18031234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2021] [Revised: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/26/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Background: Studies show that hyperuricemia is an element of the pathophysiology of many conditions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess primary care physicians’ knowledge and attitudes toward asymptomatic hyperuricemia and gout management. Methods: A survey-based cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the primary physicians’ attitudes, knowledge, and patient management regarding hyperuricemia and gout. Results: A total of 336 primary care physicians were included. Physicians who read at least one scientific paper covering the topic of hyperuricemia in the past year scored significantly higher in knowledge questions (N = 152, 6.5 ± 2.05 vs. N = 183, 7.04 ± 2.14, p = 0.019). Only around half of physicians correctly identified drugs that can lower or elevate serum uric acid levels. Furthermore, the analysis of correct answers to specific questions showed poor understanding of the pathophysiology of hyperuricemia and possible risk factors. Conclusions: This study identified gaps in primary care physicians’ knowledge essential for the adequate management of patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia and gout. As hyperuricemia and gout are among the fastest rising non-communicable diseases, greater awareness of the available guidelines and more education about the causes and risks of hyperuricemia among primary care physicians may reduce the development of diseases that have hyperuricemia as risk factors.

Xanthine oxidase inhibitors are associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Sci Rep 2021; 11:1380.

Abstract
As previous studies have reported finding an association between hyperuricemia and the development of cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease, hyperuricemia is thought to be an independent risk factor for hypertension and diabetic mellitus. However, we have not been able to determine whether the use of xanthine oxidase inhibitors can reduce cardiovascular disease. The present study used the longitudinal data of the Fukushima Cohort Study to investigate the relationship between the use of xanthine oxidase inhibitors and cardiovascular events in patients with cardiovascular risks. During the 3-year period between 2012 and 2014, a total of 2724 subjects were enrolled in the study and followed. A total of 2501 subjects had hypertension, diabetic mellitus, dyslipidemia, or chronic kidney disease, and were identified as having cardiovascular risks. The effects of xanthine oxidase inhibitor use on the development of cardiovascular events was evaluated in these patients using a time to event analysis. During the observational periods (median 2.7 years), the incidence of cardiovascular events was 20.7 in subjects with xanthine oxidase inhibitor and 11.2 (/1000 person-years, respectively) in those without. Although a univariate Cox regression analysis showed that the risk of cardiovascular events was significantly higher in subjects administered xanthine oxidase inhibitors (HR = 1.87, 95% CI 1.19–2.94, p = 0.007), the risk was significantly lower in subjects administered a xanthine oxidase inhibitor after adjustment for covariates (HR = 0.48, 95% CI 0.26–0.91; p = 0.024) compared to those without. Xanthine oxidase inhibitor use was associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence has suggested that high uric acid (HUA) is closely related to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Mitophagy abnormalities have been reported to participate in multiple pathogenic processes of CVD. However, the potential molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Herein, we investigated the effect of HUA-induced mitophagy and its potential molecular mechanism in cardiomyocytes. METHODS We established a model of cardiomyocytes induced by HUA in vitro and in vivo. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content were measured. The mitophagy-related protein expression of LC3B-II, Parkin, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II δ (CaMKIIδ) and P62 was measured by Western blot. Based on the colocalization of lysosomes and mitochondria, a confocal microscope was used to detect mitophagy. Additionally, we established a mitophagy inhibitor group (3-MA) and CaMKIIδ inhibitor group (KN-93) to verify the pathway. RESULTS In the HUA stimulation model, ROS production was increased, and mitochondrial injury indexes (MMP and ATP contents) were decreased. Moreover, these indicators were reversed by 3-MA and KN-93. Under HUA stimulation, the expression of LC3B-II, Parkin, CaMKIIδ and P62 increased significantly. Furthermore, these protein levels were reduced by 3-MA and KN-93. CONCLUSION HUA can promote cardiomyocyte mitophagy activation through the ROS/CaMKIIδ/parkin pathway axis. This study may provide a new target and theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of HUA-related metabolic heart disease in the future.

[PMID: 33194389 PMCID: PMC7646298 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.10130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2020] [Accepted: 09/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives This study was aimed to assess the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) level and the clinical, pathological phenotype of IgA nephropathy (IgAN), and to determine the role of SUA level in the progression and prognosis of IgAN. Methods A total of 208 patients with IgAN were included in this study, and were classified into the normo-uricemia group and hyperuricemia group according to the SUA level. The clinical data at baseline, IgAN Oxford classification scores (MEST-C scoring system), and other pathological features were collected and further analyzed. All patients were followed up and the prognosis was assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. GraphPad Prism 7.0 and SPSS 23.0 were used for statistical analyses. Results In clinical indicators, patients with hyperuricemia had the significantly higher proportion of males to females, mean arterial pressure, the levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, Scr, BUN, 24 hour-urine protein, C3, and C4, the lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and eGFR than those without (p < 0.05). In terms of pathological characteristics, the tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis scores, vascular injury scores, and glomerular sclerosis percentage were significantly higher in patients with hyperuricemia compared with those without (p < 0.01). There was no significant difference in the scores of mesangial hypercellularity, endocapillary hypercellularity, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, as well as crescents between the two groups (p > 0.05). As for the depositions of immune complexes deposition in IgAN, the hyperuricemia group had less deposition of immunoglobulin G and FRA than the normo-uricemia group (p < 0.05), while the deposition of immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin M, and complement C3 in the two groups showed no statistical difference. The survival curve suggested that patients in the hyperuricemia group have significantly poorer renal outcome than those in the normo-uricemia group (p = 0.0147). Results also revealed that the SUA level is a valuable predictor of renal outcome in patients with IgAN. The optimal cutoff value was 361.1 µmol/L (AUC = 0.76 ± 0.08167) and 614 µmol/L (AUC = 0.5728 ± 0.2029) for female and male, respectively. Conclusions The level of SUA is associated with renal function level and pathological severity of IgAN, and maybe a prognostic indicator of IgAN.

Abstract
Uric acid (UA) is the end product of purine nucleotide metabolism in the human body. Hyperuricemia is an abnormally high level of UA in the blood and may result in arthritis and gout. The prevalence of hyperuricemia has been increasing globally. Epidemiological studies have shown that UA levels are positively correlated with cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, atherosclerosis, atrial fibrillation (AF), and heart failure (HF). Hyperuricemia promotes the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases by regulating molecular signals, such as inflammatory response, oxidative stress, insulin resistance/diabetes, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and endothelial dysfunction. Despite extensive research, the underlying molecular mechanisms are still unclear. Allopurinol, a xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitor, has been shown to improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with HF, coronary heart disease (CHD), type 2 diabetes (T2D), and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Whether febuxostat, another XO inhibitor, can improve cardiovascular outcomes as well as allopurinol remains controversial. Furthermore, it is also not clear whether UA-lowering treatment (ULT) can benefit patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia. In this review, we focus on the latest cellular and molecular findings of cardiovascular disease associated with hyperuricemia and clinical data about the efficacy of ULT in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Background Although mutations and dysfunction of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are related to a variety of diseases, few studies have focused on the relationship between mtDNA and coronary artery disease (CAD), especially the relationship between rare variants and CAD. Material/Methods Two-stage high-throughput sequencing was performed to detect mtDNA variants or heteroplasmy and the relationship between them and CAD phenotypes. In the discovery stage, mtDNA was analyzed by high-throughput sequencing of long-range PCR products generated from the peripheral blood of 85 CAD patients and 80 demographically matched controls. In the validation stage, high-throughput sequencing for mtDNA target regions captured by GenCap Kit was performed on 100 CAD samples and 100 controls. Finally, tRNA fine mapping was performed between our study and the reported Chinese CAD study. Results Among the tRNA genes, we confirmed a highly conserved rare variant, A5592G, previously reported in the Chinese CAD study, and 2 novel rare mutations that reached Bonferroni’s correction significance in the combined analysis were found (P=7.39×10−4 for T5628C in tRNAAla and P=1.01×10−5 for T681C in 12S rRNA) in the CAD study. Both of them were predicted to be pathological, with T5628C disrupting an extremely conservative base-pairing at the AC stem of tRNAAla. Furthermore, we confirmed the controversial issue that the number of non-synonymous heteroplasmic sites per sample was significantly higher in CAD patients. Conclusions In conclusion, our study confirmed the contribution of rare variants in CAD and showed that CAD patients had more non-synonymous heterogeneity mutations, which may be helpful in identifying the genetic and molecular basis of CAD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few data are available on the association between postoperative serum uric acid (SUA) level and poor survival in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We evaluated the relationship between postoperative SUA and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) among patients undergoing CABG. METHODS This study used data from 1614 consecutive patients undergoing CAGB at Fuwai Hospital (Beijing, China) from 2011 to 2015. Patients were stratified into statistical quartiles of postoperative SUA (between 6 and 18 hours after cardiac surgery): less than 203.7, 203.7 to 254.1, 254.1 to 316.6, and ≥316.6 µmol/L. The association of postoperative SUA with MACCE (ie, death, myocardial infarction [MI], stroke, or repeat revascularization) and the composite endpoint of mortality/MI were assessed. RESULTS Patients had a mean age of 60.3 ± 8.4 years, and 79.3% were male. During mean follow-up of 2.5 ± 0.7 years, MACCE occurred in 201 (12.5%) patients. In separate multivariable regression models, postoperative SUA level was positively associated with in-hospital MACCE (highest vs lowest SUA quartile: odds ratio [OR]: 2.40; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.29, 4.48; P = .006) and in-hospital composite endpoint of mortality/MI (OR: 2.88; 95% CI: 1.45, 5.72; P = .003), respectively. And elevated postoperative SUA level was independently associated with MACCE (Hazard ratio [HR]: 1.70; 95% CI: 1.12, 2.57; P = .01) and the composite endpoint of mortality/MI (HR: 2.42; 95% CI: 1.32, 4.43; P = .004) respectively within 3 years after CABG. CONCLUSIONS Elevated postoperative SUA level is associated with poor clinical outcomes after CABG. Patients with high postoperative SUA levels after CABG might require to be closely monitored.

Eun Y, Han KD, Kim DH, Kim IY, Park EJ, Lee S, Cha HS, Koh EM, Lee J, Kim H. Increased Overall Heart Rate Irregularity Risk by Hyperuricemia in the General Population: Results from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2020; 56:medicina56100501. [PMID: 32987834 PMCID: PMC7600340 DOI: 10.3390/medicina56100501] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2020] [Revised: 09/17/2020] [Accepted: 09/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Background and objectives: Hyperuricemia is one of the well-known cardiovascular risk factors. There is a growing interest in the association between hyperuricemia and arrhythmia. We used the representative sample data of Korean population to study the association between hyperuricemia and heart rate irregularity (HRI) that reflects total arrhythmia. Materials and Methods: We performed weighted multivariate logistic regression analysis to assess the association between hyperuricemia and HRI. Results: Of the 10,827 subjects, 1308 (13.2%) had hyperuricemia and 130 (1%) had HRI. In the presence of hyperuricemia, HRI was three times higher than that in the absence of hyperuricemia (OR 2.98, 95% CI 1.71–5.18). The risk of HRI was highest in subjects with both hypertension and hyperuricemia. In the subgroup analysis, the association of hyperuricemia with HRI was most pronounced in the smoker group. Conclusions: Hyperuricemia was highly correlated with HRI in adult Korean representative sample data. Hyperuricemia was associated with a nearly tripled risk for HRI. Hypertension has a synergistic effect with hyperuricemia on HRI. Further research is warranted to clarify the relationship between hyperuricemia and arrhythmia and its mechanism.
