Overview
Hyperuricaemia represents nowaday the new risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Prevalence data and its treatment in our patient´s population are still missing. Literature data shows, that its prevalence differs in various populations significantly from 4 % up to 40 % with race and geographical means. In the hospital population its prevalence is about 7 % and represents the important predictor of hospital mortality, e.i with heart failure. From the Framingham data relative risk was estimated of 25 % for cardiovascular diseases, coronary heart disease and all-course mortality. From the epidemiologic survey Mirror Slovakia hyperuricaemia was evaluated from the sample of 20 000 patients from the primare care physicians in order to see the picture on this newer risk factor.
Key words:
cardiovascular diseases – epidemiology – hyperuricaemia – therapy
