Fig. 4: Mendelian randomization associations between main cardiovascular risk factors and SCAD or CAD.

a,b, Forest plots representing Mendelian randomization associations between cardiovascular risk factors and SCAD (ncases = 1,917; ncontrols = 9,292) (a) or CAD (ncases = 181,522; ncontrols = 984,168) (b). Association estimates (β; center of the error bars) obtained from Mendelian randomization analyses using the IVW method are represented on the x axis. The range of each bar represents the 95% CI. Unadjusted P values from the associations obtained by two-sided Wald test are indicated. n = 340,159 (SBP), 340,162 (DBP), 359,983 (BMI), 315,133 (HDL), 343,621 (LDL), 343,992 (triglycerides (TG)), 164,638 cases and 195,068 controls (smoking (SMK)) and 74,124 cases and 824,006 controls (type 2 diabetes (T2D)). The asterisks indicate significance after Bonferroni correction for testing nine traits (P < 5.6 × 10−3) (Supplementary Table 13).
