The lack of association between the burden of monosodium urate crystals assessed with dual-energy computed tomography or ultrasonography with cardiovascular risk in the commonly high-risk gout patient
Arthritis Research & Therapy Jun 02, 2018
Pascart T, et al. - Authors gauged the association between the extent of monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition, assessed with ultrasonography (US) and dual-energy computed tomography (DECT), and cardiovascular risk. Experts noted very poor correlations between DECT volumes of MSU deposits in the knees, feet, and knees + feet and cardiovascular risk according to the American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA), with ρ = 0.18, -0.01, and 0.13, respectively. In gout patients, the estimated risk of cardiovascular events was not increased by the extent of MSU burden.
