ScienceDaily (Feb. 11, 2010) — Women with gout are at greater risk of a heart attack than men with the disease, indicates research published ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.
Gout is known to boost the risk of a heart attack in men. But to date, little has been known about the impact of gout on women's cardiovascular health.
Gout is common and caused by inflammation in the joints as a result of excess uric acid deposits. Uric acid is a by-product of purines, which are abundant in a Western diet.
Obesity, weight gain, high alcohol intake, high blood pressure, poorly functioning kidneys and certain drugs can all precipitate its development.
The authors base their findings on a population study of more than 9500 gout patients and 48, 000 people without the disease, aged 65 and older.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/02/100207214124.htm ROME -- Homocysteine levels -- often a marker of inflammation -- are elevated in patients with gout, and are correlated with serum uric acid levels in these patients as well, researchers found.In 60 men with gout, homocysteine levels were 16.5 mmol/l compared with a level of 14.9 mmol/l among 39 men with other rheumatic disorders but not gout (P<0.05), according to Ole Slot, MD, of the Glostrup Hospital in Glostrup, Denmark.
In 13 women with gout, the same pattern held -- the level of plasma homocysteine was 24 mmol/l compared with 18 mmol/l among 26 women with other forms of rheumatic disease (P<0.01), Slot reported here at the European League Against Rheumatism meeting
Men and women were analyzed separately, he said, since the women with gout tended to be considerably older (about 80) than the men with gout (about 60).
"Future studies should investigate if urate lowering therapy reduces levels of plasma homocysteine in patients with gout," Slot said.
