Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: It remains unclear whether lipid profiles and lipid-lowering medications are causally related to peripheral arterial disease (PAD). OBJECTIVE: Explain whether there is a causal relationship between lipid status and lipid-lowering drugs and PAD. METHODS: In this two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, we assessed the causal relationship between lipid traits, including high-density lipoprotein...
