Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Observational studies have suggested that plasma lipids contribute substantially to cardiovascular disease, but "cholesterol paradox" in atrial fibrillation (AF) remains. We sought to investigate the causal effects of lipid profiles on the risk of AF. METHODS AND RESULTS: Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) framework was implemented to examine the causality of association. Summary...
