[Incidence of coronary disease and other metabolic diseases in 80 gout patients].
A study about gout associated with hypertension, diabetes, ischemic cardiopathy and different alterations in the sanguineous levels of lipids was conducted on 80 patients of the Rheumatology Service at the National Institute of Cardiology in Mexico City. We found abnormal levels of tryglicerids in the blood of 55% of the patients and a high level of cholesterol in only 5%. In 27% of the patients, some alteration showed in the carbo-hydrates methabolism, and in 22,5% of them we found systemic arterial hipertension. Slight ischemic cardiopathy was showing in a 37% of the patients, but uric acid level in blood seemed to be of little importance for the frequency, type or severity of the coronary heart disease. We made a comparison between the results we obtained through these studies and those found among the Mexican population and with information found in international medical publications.
