При этом сердечно-сосудистая смертность находится на первом месте среди причин смерти у пациентов с подагрой и превышает популяционную. Возможно, это связано с главными признаками подагры – высоким сывороточным уровнем мочевой кислоты (МК) и обусловленным им хроническим воспалением. Медикаментозная коррекция гиперурикемии – основа терапии подагры и, как предполагается, способна нивелировать негативное влияние МК на риск связанных с ней неблагоприятных событий. Препаратами первой линии урат-снижающей терапии являются ингибиторы ксантиноксидазы (аллопуринол и фебуксостат). Их действие на уровень МК, сопутствующие заболевания, отдаленные исходы (в том числе общую и сердечно-сосудистую смертность, развитие и прогрессирование хронической болезни почек), а также возникновение неблагоприятных реакций изучается в крупных исследованиях, результаты которых могут повлиять на стратегию такой терапии.В статье обсуждаются достоинства и недостатки исследования CARES (Gout and Cardiovascular Morbidities), в котором сравнивалась сердечно-сосудистая безопасность аллопуринола и фебуксостата. Полученные данные свидетельствуют об отсутствии существенной разницы в частоте сердечно-сосудистых событий при применении фебуксостата и аллопуринола, но в то же время демонстрируют больший риск сердечно-сосудистой и общей смертности в группе фебуксостата. Анализ этой работы не позволяет сделать вывод о повышении сердечно-сосудистого риска при терапии фебуксостатом, однако показывает, что при сопоставлении с аллопуринолом этот риск может быть выше. Необходимо более детальное изучение данного вопроса после получения результатов уже начавшихся и планируемых исследований, посвященных сравнению влияния на риск неблагоприятных сердечно-сосудистых событий аллопуринола и фебуксостата у пациентов с асимптоматической гиперурикемией.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Gout is associated with the high frequency of comorbidities, among which there are cardiovascular disease and kidney diseases. In this case, cardiovascular mortality rates are in the first place among the causes of death in patients with gout and exceed the death rates in the population. This may be associated with the main signs of gout, such as a high serum uric acid (UA) level and its related chronic inflammation. Drug correction of hyperuricemia is the mainstay of gout therapy and it is supposed to be able to neutralize the negative effect of UA on the risk of its associated adverse events. Xanthine oxidase inhibitors (allopurinol and febuxostat) are first-line urate-lowering agents. Their effect on UA levels, comorbidities, long-term outcomes (including overall and cardiovascular mortality, development and progression of chronic kidney disease), and occurrence of adverse reactions is studied in large-scale studies, the results of which may affect the strategy of such therapy.The paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the CARES (Gout and Cardiovascular Morbidities) study that has compared the cardiovascular safety of allopurinol and febuxostat. The findings suggest that there is no substantial difference in the frequency of cardiovascular events with febuxostat and allopurinol, but at the same time these demonstrate a high risk for cardiovascular and overall mortality in the febuxostat group. Analysis of this paper cannot conclude that there is a greater cardiovascular risk with therapy with febuxostat; however, it shows that when compared with allopurinol, this risk may be higher. A more detailed study of this issue is required after obtaining the results of already started and planned investigations comparing the effects of allopurinol and febuxostat on the risk of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>сердечно-сосудистая смертность</kwd><kwd>фебуксостат</kwd><kwd>аллопуринол</kwd><kwd>гиперурикемия</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>cardiovascular mortality</kwd><kwd>febuxostat</kwd><kwd>allopurinol</kwd><kwd>hyperuricemia</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">U.S. Food and Drug Administartion.
