Genetic susceptibility, elevated blood pressure, and risk of atrial fibrillation: a Mendelian randomization study
Abstract Background Whether elevated blood pressure (BP) is a modifiable risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF) is not established. We tested (1) whether the association between BP and risk of AF is causal, (2) whether it varies according to individual’s genetic susceptibility for AF, and (3) the...
