Gout patients who lower uric acid below 360 µmol/L have significantly lower heart attack, stroke, and death risk, a UK study finds.
A large UK study finds that gout patients who take medications like allopurinol to lower blood urate levels below 360 micromol/L (6 mg/dL) have a significantly reduced risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death over five years.
Researchers analyzed data from nearly 110,000 adults with gout, showing that those who achieved target levels within a year had better cardiovascular outcomes, especially those at high risk or who reached even lower levels under 300 micromol/L (5 mg/dL).
The findings, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, suggest effective gout treatment offers dual benefits by preventing flares and improving heart health.
