J Rheumatol. 2021 Aug 15:jrheum.210695. doi: 10.3899/jrheum.210695. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn this issue of The Journal of Rheumatology, Colantonio, et al 1 conducted a case-cohort study from the REGARDS study to evaluate whether the association between serum uric acid (SUA) and sudden cardiac death, and between SUA and incident coronary heart disease (CHD) events, is confounded by SLC2A9 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Incident CHD events were the composites of nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) or CHD deaths.PMID:34393102 | DOI:10.3899/jrheum.210695
