Genetically predicted on-statin LDL response is associated with higher intracerebral hemorrhage risk
2022-03-23
Abstract excerpt
Statins lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and are widely used for the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Whether statin-induced LDL reduction increases risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has been debated for almost two decades. Here, we explored whether genetically predicted on-statin LDL response is associated with ICH risk using Mendelian Randomization. Utilizing genomic data...
