Febuxostat and Cardiovascular Events: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Conclusions: Compared with other SU-lowering treatments, febuxostat does not increase or decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease but may increase the risk of CVD death. More RCTs measuring cardiovascular safety as a primary outcome are needed to adequately evaluate the risk of CVD with febuxostat. PMID: 30863448 [PubMed]
