Estimating the Population Benefits of Blood Pressure Lowering: A Wide-Angled Mendelian Randomization Study in UK Biobank

2021-02-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The causal relevance of elevated blood pressure for several cardiovascular diseases is uncertain, as is the population impact of blood pressure lowering on risk of cardiovascular diseases more broadly. This study systematically assesses evidence of causality for various cardiovascular diseases in a two-sample Mendelian randomization framework, and estimates the potential reduction in the preval...
