Causal associations between blood pressure and the risk of myocardial infarction: A bidirectional Mendelian randomization study
IntroductionMany observational studies imply elevated blood pressure (BP) as a leading risk factor for incident myocardial infarction (MI), but whether this relationship is causal remains unknown. In this study, we used bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the potential causal a...
