B
Gout can cause sepsis which can cause hypertension, which can cause congestive heart failure. Gout is a collection of uria crystals (nitrogenous waste) which increases the likelihood of infection in that area. Infection can travel into the blood stream causes sepsis. Which is early stages can cause an increase in blood pressure (hypertension) before it all drops. Hypertension can cause a VQ mismatch that can casue a backup of fluid in the heart (congestive heart failure).
