IL6R and ischemic stroke: Moreover, IL-6R was robustly associated with increased risks of atrial fibrillation (OR: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.16-1.44), coronary artery disease (OR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.23-1.56), myocardial infarction (OR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.11-1.44), ischemic stroke (OR: 1.34, 95% CI: 1.22-1.48), and aortic stenosis (OR: 1.75, 95% CI: 1.46-2.09).
