Uric acid salt linked to high-risk plaque in heart arteries

In an observational study of 116 patients, detected urate was linked to odds of high-risk plaque 4.91 times those without detected urate.In an observational study of 116 patients, detected urate was linked to odds of high-risk plaque 4.91 times those without detected urate.
