A Mendelian randomization analysis of the relationship between cardioembolic risk factors and ischemic stroke

Abstract Observational studies have shown that several risk factors are associated with cardioembolic stroke. However, whether such associations reflect causality remains unknown. We aimed to determine whether established and provisional cardioembolic risk factors are causally associated with cardio...
