Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: A genetic predisposition to lower thyrotropin (TSH) levels is associated with increased atrial fibrillation (AF) risk through undefined mechanisms. OBJECTIVE: Defining the genetic mediating mechanisms could lead to improved targeted therapies to mitigate AF risk. METHODS: We used 2-sample mendelian randomization (MR) to test associations between TSH-associated single-nucleotide variations and 16...
