The Impact

Abstract Background Elevated serum uric acid (SUA) induces endothelial dysfunction and is associated with hypertension according to the traditional definition of hypertension. The impact of a divergent definition of hypertension between contemporary guidelines is unclear. Purpose We conducted the present study to investigate the association between SUA and new-onset hypertension according to contemporary blood pressure guidelines. Methods We enrolled 10,537 healthy individuals aged more than 30 years, who routinely underwent an annual health exam with office blood pressure records at our hospital in 2016; of them, 7,349 individuals repeated the exam in 2017. The individuals with hypertension at baseline were excluded, and the rest of the study population were divided into the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) cohort and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) cohort. According to the ESC guideline, hypertension was defined as office BP ≥140/90 mm Hg, whereas ACC guidelines defined hypertension as blood pressure ≥130/80 mm Hg. Hyperuricemia (HUA) is defined as an SUA level of ≥7 mg/dl in men and ≥6 mg/dl in women. Results The study population consisted of 6,378 individuals in the ESC cohort and 4,330 individuals in the ACC cohort. The HUA group was predominantly male and older than the normouricemic group and had a greater ratio of alcohol intake and histories of gout, and greater values of laboratory cardiometabolic biomarker values. The incidence of hypertension was 5.8% in the ESC cohort and 19% in the ACC cohort. Incident hypertension was significantly greater in the HUA vs. normouricemic group (8.6% vs. 4.7%, P<0.001 for ESC and 25.5% vs. 16.9%, P<0.001 for ACC). In multivariate logistic regression analyses, each increment of SUA was associated with increased risks of incident hypertension after age, gender, body mass index, blood pressure at baseline, fasting glucose were adjusted (OR: 1.160, 95% CI: 1.056–1.274, P=0.002 for ESC and OR: 1.120, 95% CI: 1.040–1.207, P=0.031 for ACC). Incidence of hypertension Conclusion Elevated SUA was associated with incident hypertension in healthy individuals from Taiwan regarding various contemporary blood pressure guidelines. Future studies might investigate the effect of urate-lowering therapy on lowering blood pressure. Acknowledgement/Funding TSGH 108-14

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements TSGH 108-11 Background Elevated serum uric acid (SUA) is associated with cardiac fibrosis and hypertrophy. A growing body of evidence showed the positive correlation between hyperuricemia (HUA) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), but most studies defined LVH by a single method such as electrocardiogram or echocardiogram; the former is generally used in massive screen but the latter take advantage of the accuracy of LVH. Purpose We conducted this study to concomitantly investigate the association between SUA and electrocardiographic and echocardiographic LVH. Methods We initially enrolled 17,913 healthy individuals, who routinely underwent an annual health exam at our hospital between 2016/1/1∼2016/12/31. Of them, 347 individuals received transthoracic echocardiography because of abnormal results in their electrocardiogram. Amplitudes of 12-lead electrocardiogram were artificially measured by a study assistant under the supervision and by artificial intelligence. HUA is defined as an SUA level of ≥7 mg/dl in men and ≥6 mg/dl in women. Electrocardiographic LVH is defined by the criteria of Cornel voltage and product and Sokolow-Lyon and the Minnesota Code ECG classification. Echocardiographic LVH is defined by LV mass index ≥115g/m² in men or ≥95g/m² in women. Results The HUA group (n = 233) vs. normouricemic group (n = 114) was older and predominant male with greater values of body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and laboratory biomarkers, including non-high density total cholesterol, fasting glucose impairment, creatinine clearance, and haemoglobin. The two groups had comparable lifestyle choices, including tobacco use, alcohol intake, and physical activities per week. The HUA group compared with the normouricemic group had greater values of S amplitude of V1 plus R amplitude of V5 (3031 ± 2055 uV vs. 2566 ± 1021 uV, P = 0.005), R amplitude in lead I plus S amplitude in lead III (842 ± 443 uV vs. 696 ± 386 uV, P = 0.002) and LV mass index (95 ± 23 g/m² vs. 85 ± 30 g/m², P = 0.001). The prevalence of electrocardiographic and echocardiographic LVH was greater in the HUA group than the normouricemic group (7.0% vs. 2.1%, P = 0.034 for electrocardiographic LVH and 15.8% vs. 7.7%, P = 0.025 for echocardiographic LVH). In multivariate logistic regression analyses, elevated SUA was associated with LVH after the confounders were fully adjusted (OR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.07-1.77, P = 0.012 for electrocardiographic LVH and OR: 1.58, 95% CI 1.15-2.17, P = 0.004 for echocardiographic LVH). Conclusion Elevated SUA is independently associated with the prevalence of both electrocardiographic and echocardiographic LVH in healthy individuals from Taiwan. Future studies might evaluate urate-lowering effects on the regression of LVH.

The Relationship

AbstractElevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels may increase the risk of prehypertension. However, the findings from these studies remain conflicting. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between SUA levels and risk of prehypertension by conducting a meta-analysis. We conducted a comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, and the Wangfang database without language restrictions through May 2015. Observational studies assessing the relationship between SUA levels and prevalence of prehypertension were included. Pooled adjust odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) of prehypertension were calculated for the highest vs. lowest SUA levels. Prehypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure (BP) ranging from 120 to 139 mmHg or diastolic BP ranging from 80 to 89 mmHg. Eight cross-sectional studies with a total of 21,832 prehypertensive individuals were included. Meta-analysis showed that elevated SUA levels were associated with increased risk of prehypertension (OR: 1.84; 95% CI: 1.42–2.38) comparing the highest vs. lowest level of SUA levels. Subgroup analyses showed that elevated SUA levels significantly increased the risk of prehypertension among men (OR: 1.60; 95% CI: 1.12–2.21) and women (OR: 1.59; 95% CI: 1.17–2.16). Elevated SUA levels are positively associated with the risk of prehypertension in the general population. However, more well-designed longitudinal studies are needed before a definitive conclusion can be drawn due to the cross-sectional studies included are susceptible to bias.

Objectives: Prehypertension frequently progresses to hypertension and is associated with cardiovascular diseases, stroke, excess morbidity and mortality. However, the identical risk factors for developing hypertension from prehypertension are not clarified. This study is conducted to clarify the risks. Methods: We conducted a retrospective 5-year cohort study using the data from 3,584 prehypertensive Japanese adults (52.1±11.0 years, 2,081 men) in 2004 and reevaluated it 5 years later. We calculated the cumulative incidences of hypertension over 5 years, then, we detected the risk factors and calculated odds ratios (ORs) for developing hypertension by crude analysis and after adjustments for age, sex, body mass index, smoking and drinking habits, baseline systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease, and serum uric acid. We also evaluated whether serum uric acid (hyperuricemia) provided an independent risk for developing hypertension. Results: The cumulative incidence of hypertension from prehypertension over 5 years was 25.3%, but there were no significant differences between women and men (24.4% vs 26.0%, p=0.28). The cumulative incidence of hypertension in subjects with hyperuricemia (n=726) was significantly higher than those without hyperuricemia (n=2,858) (30.7% vs 24.0%, p<0.001). After multivariable adjustments, the risk factors for developing hypertension from prehypertension were age (OR per 1 year increased: 1.023; 95% CI, 1.015-1.032), women (OR versus men: 1.595; 95% CI, 1.269-2.005), higher body mass index (OR per 1 kg/m 2 increased: 1.051; 95% CI 1.021-1.081), higher baseline systolic blood pressure (OR per 1 mmHg increased: 1.072; 95% CI, 1.055-1.089) and diastolic blood pressure (OR per 1 mmHg increased: 1.085; 95% CI, 1.065-1.106), and higher serum uric acid (OR pre 1 mg/dL increased: 1.149; 95% CI, 1.066-1.238), but not smoking and drinking habits, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and chronic kidney diseases. Conclusions: Increased serum uric acid is an independent risk factor for developing hypertension from prehypertension. Intervention studies are needed to clarify whether the treatments for hyperuricemia in prehypertensive subjects are useful.
