Relationship between Guillain–Barré syndrome and cardiovascular disease: a bidirectional Mendelian randomization study

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This study utilizes bidirectional Mendelian randomization to analyze the causal relationships between Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). It uniquely demonstrates a significant causal link from GBS to an increased risk of heart failure (HF), without similar effects on atrial fibrillation (AF) or coronary artery disease (CAD). No reverse causality from CVDs to GBS was found, highlighting the need for targeted cardiovascular management in patients with GBS.
