Is Hypereurytemia in Gout a Cause of Cardiovascar Events?

Does long term reduction in hyper eurthemia lead to a significant change o aposcerosis? Not clearly shown in the two year study, but does it have a benefit to these other things we really do worry about? And the answer seemed to be yes in the study. Again, i think this gives credence to the fact that we probably should be treating a symptomatic hypeurysemia.
