  • High Blood Pressure and Intraocular Pressure: A Mendelian Randomization Study - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35762941

    ABSTRACT: Purpose To test for causality with regard to the association between blood pressure (BP) and intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma. Methods Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with BP were identified in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of 526,001 participants of European ancestry. These SNPs were used to assess the BP versus IOP relationship in a distinct sample (n = 70,832) whose corneal-compensated IOP (IOPcc) was measured. To evaluate the BP versus primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) relationship, additional Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were conducted using published GWAS summary statistics. Results Observational analysis revealed a linear relationship between BP traits and IOPcc, with a +0.28 mm Hg increase in IOPcc per 10-mm Hg inc

  • Multi-trait association analysis reveals shared genetic loci between Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39537608

    ABSTRACT: Several cardiovascular traits and diseases co-occur with Alzheimer's disease. We mapped their shared genetic architecture using multi-trait genome-wide association studies. Subsequent fine-mapping and colocalisation highlighted 16 genetic loci associated with both Alzheimer's and cardiovascular diseases. We prioritised rs11786896, which colocalised with Alzheimer's disease, atrial fibrillation and expression of PLEC in the heart left ventricle, and rs7529220, which colocalised with Alzheimer's disease, atrial fibrillation and expression of C1Q family genes. Single-cell RNA-sequencing data, co-expression network and protein-protein interaction analyses provided evidence for different mechanisms of PLEC, which is upregulated in left ventricular endothelium and cardiomyocyte

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Diet

  • reduced sodium and DASH-style diet Moderate

    Sodium reduction and DASH diet (high potassium, magnesium, calcium) effectively lower blood pressure, critical given this SNP-associated hypertension risk.

    Limit sodium to <2300mg daily; emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, low-fat dairy

Discuss with your doctor

  • cardiovascular risk and preventive strategies Moderate

    Genetic predisposition to elevated blood pressure warrants proactive discussion with healthcare provider about prevention.

    Discuss family history, current BP status, and lifestyle/medication strategies with doctor at next visit

Exercise

  • regular aerobic exercise for blood pressure management Moderate

    Aerobic exercise is the most effective non-pharmacological intervention for blood pressure reduction, especially important with genetic predisposition.

    150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week (e.g., brisk walking, cycling, swimming)

Screening

  • blood pressure monitoring Moderate

    This SNP is associated with higher systolic blood pressure (effect +0.223) and pulse pressure (effect +0.160), indicating elevated cardiovascular risk.

    Annual blood pressure checks; consider earlier screening or more frequent monitoring if BP is elevated
