Linear and Nonlinear Mendelian Randomization Analyses of the Association Between Diastolic Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Events: The J-Curve Revisited

Marios Arvanitis et al.

Summary: The study revealed that there is no evidence for a nonlinear J- or U-shaped relationship between diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and adverse cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes, including myocardial infarction (MI). Instead, the risk of MI consistently decreases per unit decrease in DBP, even among individuals with low baseline DBP values.

Genetically Predicted Blood Pressure and Risk of Atrial Fibrillation

Matthew C. Hyman et al.

Summary: Genetic variants associated with higher blood pressure are linked to an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, suggesting a causal relationship between blood pressure and AF. Reduction of blood pressure with calcium channel blockers or beta-blockers may help lower the risk of AF.

Blood Pressure and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in UK Biobank A Mendelian Randomization Study

Eric Yuk Fai Wan et al.

Summary: The study used Mendelian randomization to evaluate the causal association between blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases. The results showed a linear positive causal association between genetically predicted blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic heart disease and stroke. This finding reinforces the clinical knowledge that lower blood pressure is better for reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology using mendelian randomisation (STROBE-MR): explanation and elaboration

Veronika W. Skrivankova et al.

Summary: Mendelian randomisation (MR) studies provide insights into causal effects of modifiable exposures on health outcomes, but are often hindered by inadequate reporting. Reporting guidelines like STROBE-MR help authors communicate critical information clearly and transparently, aiding in evaluating the quality of published studies for readers, reviewers, and journal editors.

Testing and correcting for weak and pleiotropic instruments in two-sample multivariable Mendelian randomization

Eleanor Sanderson et al.

Summary: The text introduces a new method for Multivariable Mendelian randomization (MVMR) to address challenges in estimating causal effects. This method uses a conditional F-statistic to test whether genetic variants strongly predict each exposure, allowing for reliable causal effect estimates in the presence of weak instruments and pleiotropy.

Hannah Higgins et al.

Summary: This study found that long-term high systolic blood pressure is associated with the risk of various cardiovascular diseases. Predictions suggest that reducing population-wide systolic blood pressure could significantly decrease the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases.
