TL;DR: This article investigated whether genetic risk scores (GRSs) constructed of these variants would be associated with blood pressure (BP) and found that the GRSs would not correlate well with BP.

TL;DR: The largest genetic study of migraine to date, comprising 59,674 cases and 316,078 controls from 22 GWA studies, identified 45 independent single nucleotide polymorphisms significantly associated with migraine risk that map to 38 distinct genomic loci, including 28 loci not previously reported and the first locus identified on chromosome X.
40-Year CHD Mortality Trends and the Role of Risk Factors in Mortality Decline: The North Karelia Project Experience
TL;DR: During the last 40 years, premature CHD mortality declined markedly in both areas, but the decline was larger in Eastern Finland and the mortality gap between the two areas nearly disappeared.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between common genetic variants, QT interval, and sudden cardiac death (SCD) was investigated in individuals in two cohort studies (Health 2000 and Mini-Finland, n=6808).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the association between quantified metabolite, lipid and lipoprotein measures and incident heart failure hospitalisation (HFH) in the elderly, and examined whether circulating metabolic measures improve HFH prediction.
