5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Hyperuricemia is an additional risk factor for cardiovascular disease, associating with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in individuals with metabolic syndrome. The effect of urate-lowering therapies on left ventricular diastolic dysfunction remains unclear. The study is conducted to investigate whether febuxostat or benzbromarone might improve left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in individuals with metabolic syndrome and hyperuricemia
Detailed Description
Between 1, July 2018 and 31, Dec 2018, consecutive individuals with metabolic syndrome hyperuricemia are candidates of the present study. After the eligible candidates sign the informed consent, they will receive blood tests with a fasting time of 8 hours at least. The investigators will randomize the study participants by pre-specified random codes with a 1:1:1 ratio to the three groups. The study medication, febuxostat or benzbromarone, will be administered orally on the next day after transthoracic echocardiography is performed. The control group will only receive dietary control. All participant will receive transthoracic echocardiography and blood tests at baseline and at 3 months. The visit will be scheduled at baseline and at the 3rd month. The blood tests include high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, high-sensitivity interleukin-1 beta, high-sensitivity interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha, Dickkopf-related protein 3, galectin-3, ST2, fibroblast growth factor 23, xanthine oxidase activity, and thioredoxin.
