Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: The effect of lowering systolic blood pressure (SBP) on clinical outcomes in diabetic patients is controversial. OBJECTIVE: We used 2-sample mendelian randomization (MR) to study the causal effect of decreasing SBP on the risk of macrovascular and microvascular outcomes in diabetic patients. METHODS: We used 362 SBP-related genetic variants from a large genome-wide association study (n = 299 024) and UK...
