Clinical trial could help patients at risk of hidden cardiovascular leg disease

A medication commonly used to treat gout could be the key to reducing a cardiovascular condition that puts one in five people aged over 75 at risk of devastating complications like leg ulcers, gangrene and amputation.

The study, published today in the journal Injury Prevention, found that 93 out of 815 Australian surfers surveyed – or 11.4% – said they had injured another person in the water at some point while surfing.
