Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Observational studies have shown that elevated circulating cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentrations were linked to higher risk of stroke and atrial fibrillation, but the causality remains unclear. Therefore, we used mendelian randomization to assess the potential causal effects of cTnI concentrations on the risk of stroke, its subtypes and atrial fibrillation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The instrumental...
