Why the study?
Does adiposity have a causal relationship with heart failure and increased liver enzymes?
Does adiposity have a causal relationship with heart failure and increased liver enzymes?
Mendelian randomization provides evidence supporting a causal link between adiposity and both heart failure and elevated liver enzymes.
Should not yet change practice; leaves open need for trials to confirm adiposity reduction benefits in heart failure.
We provide novel evidence for a causal relationship between adiposity and heart failure as well as between adiposity and increased liver enzymes.
