The association between gout and subsequent cardiovascular events: a retrospective cohort study with 132,000 using propensity score matching in primary care outpatients in Germany
The relationship shown between gout and cardiovascular disease indicates that gout could be one of a series of inflammatory conditions that increase the risk of cardiac disease. The association we have shown between gout and all major cardiac diseases suggests that there is a risk modifier, the treatment of which could help prevent these diseases. Further research is needed to determine whether treating gout can effectively reduce this risk.
