Popis: Abstract Background Traditional observational studies have shown positive associations between c-reactive protein (CRP) and heart failure (HF) risk. However, this association has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, Mendelian randomization was used to examine CRP’s possible etiological roles with HF. Methods We implemented a two-sample Mendelian randomization framework to examine the causality of the association between CRP and HF based on summary statistics by large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) datasets of European ancestry through inverse-variance weighted, weighted median, MREgger regression, and MR-PRESSO methods. The summary statistics dataset on the association of genetic variants with CRP was used from the published GWAS of European descent in UK Biobank participants (N = 427,367) and the CHARGE consortium (N = 575,531). The GWAS dataset used to identify genetic variants underlying HF from the HERMES consortium includes 977,323 participants (47,309 cases and 930,014 controls). The odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was employed to examine this association. Results The results of our IVW indicated that CRP was strongly associated with HF (OR = 4.18, 95% CI = 3.40–5.13, p
