Abstract
The association between hyperuricemia and cardiovascular diseases has been studied for many years. Research has shown a link between high uric acid levels and increased risk of including coronary artery disease hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions. Urate-lowering therapy, particularly with xanthine oxidase inhibitors like allopurinol, has shown promising results in reducing blood pressure in individuals with hyperuricemia and hypertension. Clinical trials and studies have demonstrated significant reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure with urate-lowering treatment. Urate-lowering treatment has shown a favorable effect on reducing systolic blood pressure and major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with previous cardiovascular disease. In terms of cardiovascular safety, clinical trials have indicated that xanthine oxidase inhibitors such as febuxostat are non-inferior to allopurinol and do not increase the risk of death or serious adverse events. Overall, these findings highlight the importance of managing hyperuricemia and utilizing urate-lowering therapy to mitigate the adverse cardiovascular effects associated with elevated uric acid levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pre-eclampsia with severe features (severe PreE) is associated with heart dysfunction, yet the impact beyond pregnancy, including its association with cardiomyopathic genetic polymorphisms, remains poorly understood. OBJECTIVE We aimed to characterize the temporal impact of severe PreE on heart function through the 4th trimester in women with and without deleterious cardiomyopathic genetic variants. METHODS Pregnant women were enrolled to undergo transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in late pregnancy and 3 months postpartum. In women with severe PreE a targeted approach to identify pathogenic cardiomyopathic genetic polymorphisms was undertaken, and heart function was compared in carriers and noncarriers. RESULTS Pregnant women (32 ± 4 years old, severe PreE = 14, control = 8) were enrolled between 2019 - 2021. Women with severe PreE displayed attenuated myocardial relaxation (mitral e' = 11.0 ± 2.2 vs 13.2 ± 2.3 cm/sec, P < .05) in late pregnancy, and on in-silico analysis, deleterious cardiomyopathic variants were found in 58%. At 103 ± 33 days postpartum, control women showed stability in myocardial relaxation (Mitral e' Entry: 13.2 ± 2.3 vs Postpartum: 13.9 ± 1.7cm/sec, P = .464), and genetic negative severe PreE women (G-) demonstrated recovery of diastolic function to control level (Mitral e' Entry: 11.0 ± 3.0 vs Postpartum 13.7 ± 2.8cm/sec, P < .001), unlike their genetic positive (G+) counterparts (Mitral e' Entry: 10.5 ± 1.7 vs Postpartum 10.8 ± 2.4cm/sec, P = .853). CONCLUSIONS Postpartum recovery of heart function after severe PreE is attenuated in women with deleterious cardiomyopathic genetic polymorphisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association of longitudinal uric acid (UA) changes with cardiac conduction block risk is unclear. We aimed to identify the trajectories of UA and explore its association with cardiac conduction block. METHODS A total of 67,095 participants with a mean age of 53.12 years were included from the Kailuan cohort in Tangshan, China, who were free of cardiac conduction block and with repeated measurements of UA from 2006 to 2012. UA trajectories during 2006 to 2012 were identified by group-based trajectory modeling. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to assess the association of UA trajectories with cardiac conduction block. RESULTS We categorized three observed discrete trajectories of UA during 2006-2012 period: low-stable, moderate-stable, and high-stable. Over a median follow-up of 6.19 years, we identified 1405 (2.09%) incident cardiac conduction block. Compared to those in the low-stable trajectory, the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence interval [CI]) of cardiac conduction block in the moderate-stable and high-stable trajectory were 1.30 (1.16-1.47) and 1.86 (1.56-2.22), and HRs of atrioventricular block were 1.39 (1.12-1.72) and 2.90 (2.19-3.83), and HRs of bundle branch blocks were 1.27 (1.10-1.47) and 1.43 (1.13-1.79). Notably, although the average UA level in the moderate-stable UA trajectory group is within the normal range, the risk of cardiac conduction block has increased. CONCLUSIONS The moderate-stable and high-stable trajectories are associated with increased risk for new-onset cardiac conduction block. Monitoring UA trajectories may assist in identifying subpopulations at higher risk for cardiac conduction block.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this review was to update the evidence regarding the link between serum uric acid and cardiovascular risk, as well as the role of nutrition in the prevention and management of hyperuricaemia. RECENT FINDINGS The review focuses on recent epidemiological evidence concerning the role of elevated serum uric acid levels in cardiovascular risk prediction. The dietary prevention and management of hyperuricaemia is also discussed with an emphasis on the adoption of prudent dietary patterns. SUMMARY There is evidence supporting that elevated serum uric acid levels are positively associated with cardiovascular disease risk and might represent a useful additional marker for risk stratification. The association of serum uric acid with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality seems to be U-shaped, suggesting that both very low and very high serum uric acid levels might be detrimental for survival, the former being mediated by malnutrition. Apart from medication, the dietary management of hyperuricaemia should focus on the adoption of a prudent dietary pattern, such as the Mediterranean diet, which can both prevent gout and mitigate cardiometabolic risk.

Abstract
Gout and hyperuricaemia are two clinical situations associated with an elevated risk of developing cardiovascular (heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke) and metabolic and renal complications. One reason is probably related to the fact that the prevalence of hyperuricaemia and gout is high in clinical situations, which themselves involve a high cardiovascular risk, such as hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease or obesity. However, recent studies suggest that hyperuricaemia may promote cardiovascular complications independently of other cardiovascular risk factors, by inducing chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction. The questions that arise today concern primarily the treatment of asymptomatic hyperuricaemia. Should it be treated to decrease the patients' cardiovascular risk and if so, starting from which level and towards which target? There are now several pieces of evidence indicating that this might be useful, but data from large studies are not unanimous. This review will discuss this issue as well as new well-tolerated treatments, such as febuxostat or SGLT2 inhibitors, which lower uric acid levels, prevent gout and lower the risk of cardio-renal events.

Abstract
Gout is the most common type of inflammatory arthritis, and its impact on cardiovascular health and quality of life is often underestimated. The prevalence and incidence of gout are increasing globally. Further, ischemic heart disease (IHD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are prevalent in gout patients. Some unmet needs for gout management include physicians' low initiation rate of urate-lowering therapy (ULT) and poor treatment adherence in patients with gout. There is also a lack of randomized controlled trials that establish safe doses of acute and long-term treatment for gout, particularly in patients with IHD and stage 4 CKD and above (including end-stage renal failure). Furthermore, there is also a lack of studies showing optimal serum uric acid (SUA) target and validated clinical outcome measures, including disease activity and remission criteria for gout tailored to treat-to-target approaches and the high cost of newer gout medications. The causal relationship between asymptomatic hyperuricemia or gout with comorbidities such as IHD and CKD has yet to be fully elucidated. There is a pressing need for collaborative international efforts to address the overall suboptimal management of gout.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multivariate longitudinal data are under-utilized for survival analysis compared to cross-sectional data (CS - data collected once across cohort). Particularly in cardiovascular risk prediction, despite available methods of longitudinal data analysis, the value of longitudinal information has not been established in terms of improved predictive accuracy and clinical applicability. METHODS We investigated the value of longitudinal data over and above the use of cross-sectional data via 6 distinct modeling strategies from statistics, machine learning, and deep learning that incorporate repeated measures for survival analysis of the time-to-cardiovascular event in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) cohort. We then examined and compared the use of model-specific interpretability methods (Random Survival Forest Variable Importance) and model-agnostic methods (SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) and Temporal Importance Model Explanation (TIME)) in cardiovascular risk prediction using the top-performing models. RESULTS In a cohort of 3539 participants, longitudinal information from 35 variables that were repeatedly collected in 6 exam visits over 15 years improved subsequent long-term (17 years after) risk prediction by up to 8.3% in C-index compared to using baseline data (0.78 vs. 0.72), and up to approximately 4% compared to using the last observed CS data (0.75). Time-varying AUC was also higher in models using longitudinal data (0.86-0.87 at 5 years, 0.79-0.81 at 10 years) than using baseline or last observed CS data (0.80-0.86 at 5 years, 0.73-0.77 at 10 years). Comparative model interpretability analysis revealed the impact of longitudinal variables on model prediction on both the individual and global scales among different modeling strategies, as well as identifying the best time windows and best timing within that window for event prediction. The best strategy to incorporate longitudinal data for accuracy was time series massive feature extraction, and the easiest interpretable strategy was trajectory clustering. CONCLUSION Our analysis demonstrates the added value of longitudinal data in predictive accuracy and epidemiological utility in cardiovascular risk survival analysis in young adults via a unified, scalable framework that compares model performance and explainability. The framework can be extended to a larger number of variables and other longitudinal modeling methods. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00005130, Registration Date: 26/05/2000.

Abstract
Background The impact of serum uric acid (SUA) trajectories on the development of retinal arteriosclerosis is uncertain. The purpose of this study was to identify adult SUA trajectories by sex and determine their association with risk of retinal arteriosclerosis. Methods In this longitudinal study, 4,324 participants who were aged between 18 and 60 years without retinal arteriosclerosis at or before baseline (from January 1, 2010, through December 31, 2010) were included. Group-based trajectory modeling was used to identify SUA trajectories during the exposure period (from January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2010). Cox proportional-hazards models were applied to evaluate the associations between SUA trajectories and the risk of incident retinal arteriosclerosis during the outcome period (from January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2019). Results 4 distinct SUA trajectories were identified in both women and men: low, moderate, moderate-high, and high. During a median follow-up of 9.54 years (IQR 9.53-9.56), 97 women and 295 men had developed retinal arteriosclerosis. In the fully adjusted model, a significant association between the moderate-high SUA trajectory group and incidence of retinal arteriosclerosis was observed only in men (HR: 1.76, 95% CI: 1.17-2.65) compared with the low trajectory group, but not in women (HR: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.39-1.52). Also, the high SUA trajectory group had the highest risk with an adjusted HR of 1.81 (95% CI, 1.04-3.17) in men. However, they did not exhibit a substantially increased risk in women. Conclusion Higher SUA trajectory groups were significantly associated with an increased risk of incident retinal arteriosclerosis in men but not in women.

Abstract
Fructose metabolism and hyperuricemia have been shown to drive insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, hepatic steatosis, hypertension, inflammation, and innate immune reactivity in experimental studies. We suggest that these adverse effects are at least in part the result of suppressed activity of sirtuins, particularly Sirtuin1. Deficiency of sirtuin deacetylations is a consequence of reduced bioavailability of its cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Uric acid-induced inflammation and oxidative stress consume NAD+ and activation of the polyol pathway of fructose and uric acid synthesis also reduces the NAD+-to-NADH ratio. Variability in the compensatory regeneration of NAD+ could result in variable recovery of sirtuin activity that may explain the inconsistent benefits of treatments directed to reduce uric acid in clinical trials. Here, we review the pathogenesis of the metabolic dysregulation driven by hyperuricemia and their potential relationship with sirtuin deficiency. In addition, we discuss therapeutic options directed to increase NAD+ and sirtuins activity that may improve the adverse effects resulting from fructose and uric acid synthesis.
