Genetically Determined Blood Pressure, Antihypertensive Medications, and Risk of Intracranial Aneurysms and Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Mendelian Randomization Study
Abstract:ABSTRACT<break><break>Background: Observational studies suggest that different classes of antihypertensive drugs may have different effects on the occurrence of intracranial aneurysm(IA) and subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH). However, the reported effects in previous studies are inconsistent, and randomised data are absent. We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization(MR) analysis to study the causal effects of genetically determined blood pressure(BP) and genetic proxies for antihypertensive drug … Show more
