Effect of iron status on myocardial infarction: A two-sample Mendelian randomization study
Our multi-cohort MR analysis suggests a potential protective effect of higher ferritin levels and TSAT against MI risk. These findings contribute to our understanding of the relationship between iron status markers and cardiovascular health, offering insights for future research and potential therapeutic interventions.
