Abstract excerpt
IMPORTANCE: Serum calcium has been associated with cardiovascular disease in observational studies and evidence from randomized clinical trials indicates that calcium supplementation, which raises serum calcium levels, may increase the risk of cardiovascular events, particularly myocardial infarction. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the potential causal association between genetic variants related to elevated serum...
