Investigation into the causal effect of iron metabolism on cardiovascular disease

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Background: The iron-heart hypothesis, put forward in 1981, proposes that higher iron levels are responsible for an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in men and post-menopausal women compared to pre-menopausal women. However, despite 30 years of research into this suggested association, there is still no consensus regarding the causal effect of iron on CVD. Objectives: To establish the likelihood of a causa...
