Figure 1
Associations of genetically predicted 10 beats per minute increase of resting heart rate with coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, and ischemic stroke and its subtypes. The Mendelian randomization analyses were conducted using summarized data on coronary artery disease are from the Coronary Artery Disease consortium’s 1000 Genomes-based genome-wide association study, atrial fibrillation from the Atrial Fibrillation Consortium and ischemic stroke from the MEGASTROKE consortium. CI, confidence interval; IVW, inverse-variance weighted; OR, odds ratio.
