Coronary heart disease risks in first- and second-generation immigrants in Sweden: a follow-up study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Elevated plasma levels of bilirubin, an endogenous antioxidant, have been associated with reduced risk of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and myocardial infarction (MI). Whether this is a causal relationship remains unclear. OBJECTIVE:We tested the hypothesis that elevated plasma bilirubin is causally related...
