Abstract
Recently, hyperuricemia and its association with cardiovascular disease have been receiving more and more attention. The article talks about the role of uric acid in the body, the reasons for its increase and the impact of elevated uric acid levels on the cardiovascular system. The mechanisms of influence of hyperuricemia on the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases are presented. Medicinal and non-drug ways to reduce the level of uric acid in the blood are considered. From non-drug methods, attention is focused on the hypopurine diet, adequate drinking regimen and normalization of body weight. Separately, the effect on the level of uric acid of various drugs used in clinical practice is considered. In the light of current clinical guidelines, the issue of the need to prescribe drug therapy for asymptomatic hyperuricemia is discussed.
期刊介绍：
The primary goals of the Journal are consolidation of information on scientific and practical achievements in pharmacotherapy and prevention of cardiovascular diseases and continuing education of cardiologists and internists. The scientific concept of the edition suggests the publication of information on current achievements in cardiology, the results of national and international clinical trials. The Journal publishes original articles on the results of clinical trials designed to study the effectiveness and safety of drugs, analysis of clinical practice and its compliance with national and international recommendations, expert s’ opinions on a wide range of cardiology issues, associated conditions and clinical pharmacology. There is a heading “Preventive cardiology and public health” in the Journal to stimulate research interest in this highly demanded area. Memories of the outstanding people in medicine including cardiology, which are of great interest to historians of medicine, are published in "Our Mentors” heading.
