Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Lung function, assessed by forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC), is inversely associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), but these associations could be because of confounding or reversed causality. We conducted a 2-sample Mendelian randomization study, using publicly available data from relevant genome-wide association studies, to examine the role of FEV1 or...
