Abstract excerpt
AIM: Mitochondrial DNA dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to investigate the associations between leukocyte mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) abundance, as a proxy of mitochondrial function, and coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure (HF) in a cohort study and approximate the causal nature of these relationships using Mendelian randomization (MR) in genetic...
