Major cardiovascular events in patients with cardiovascular monosodium urate deposits in atherosclerotic plaques.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine the association of cardiovascular atherosclerotic plaque monosodium urate deposits with the occurrence of major cardiovascular events in gout and hyperuricemia patients.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included patients with clinically suspicion of gout, who performed a dual energy computed tomography of the affected limb and thorax between 1 June 2012 and 5 December 2019. Clinical and laboratory parameters were retrieved from patients' charts. Established cardiovascular risk factors were evaluated. Medical history review identified the presence of major adverse cardiac events with a median follow-up time of 33 months (range 0-108 months) after the performed computed tomography scan.

Results

Full data sets were available for 189 patients
