On the Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease in Survivors of Myocardial Infarction: A Mendelian Randomization Study
The 2SMR analysis indicated a significant causal association between survMI and a reduced risk of AD. This suggests that commonly-used medications, including calcium channel blockers, and supplements like Omega-3 products, may contribute to lowering the risk of AD. Further studies are essential to validate these findings and explore potential preventive measures for AD using combinations of medications and dietary supplements commonly employed to enhance the probability of surviving MI.
