Abstract:Background
Many previous observational studies have shown that primary aldosteronism (PA) can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), but the causal relationship is unclear.
Methods
We performed a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to explore the causal association between PA and CVDs using summary statistics from the large publicly accessible genome-wide association study (GWAS) of PA (Ncases=1,724, Ncontrols=4,246) as well as six types of CVDs. Moreover, the inverse… Show more
