hyperuricemia and cardiovascular diseases

Hyperuricemia is a condition where there’s too much uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is a waste product from the digestion of certain foods. When levels are high, it can lead to gout and may contribute to inflammation in blood vessels. This chronic inflammation can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks and strokes. Managing uric acid levels through diet, medication, and lifestyle changes can help reduce these risks and support heart health.
