The total and direct effects of systolic and diastolic blood pressure on cardiovascular disease and longevity using Mendelian randomisation

Abstract The 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) blood pressure (BP) guidelines lowered the hypertension threshold to ≥ 130/80 mmHg, but the role of diastolic BP remains contested. This two-sample mendelian randomisation study used replicated genetic variants pre...
