Fig. 5. Mendelian randomization of genetically predicted RHR on cardiovascular diseases.

Fig. 5

Forestplots of the linear Mendelian randomization analyses of resting heart rate (RHR) on cardiovascular diseases. Effect sizes were taken from the IC-RHR data to test the associations with mortality and cardiovascular diseases in the UK Biobank (panel a). Effect sizes were taken from the UK Biobank to test the association with cardiovascular diseases in the CARDIoGRAMplusC4D, AFGen, and MEGASTROKE consortia (panel b). Results of the MR-IVW, outlier-robust MR-Lasso, and plurality valid MR-Mix are provided. Sample sizes vary per outcome and per cohort and are shown in the figure. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals are shown. The X-axis shows odds ratio’s on a log10 scale, the center as indicated by a gray line depicts an odds ratio of 1.
