Genetic summary data on the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and aspirin consumption were obtained from a large-scale genome-wide association study involving 462 933 individuals, of which 61 702 people were taking aspirin. After the exclusion of critical confounding factors, we assessed the final and independent association between the aspirin consumption and the risk of heart failure using 3 two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) methods-inverse variance weighted (IVW), weighted-median, and MR-Egger regression. Sensitivity analyses and directionality test were employed to further validate the stability of the results.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After excluding the SNPs that exhibited associations with potential confounders and harmonizing the data, a total of 32 SNPs were finally selected for MR analysis from the initially identified 60 SNPs that displayed strong associations with the exposure. The results of the main method (IVW) showed a significant positive association between aspirin use and the occurrence of heart failure (OR [odds ratio]: 1.085; 95% CI [confidence interval]: 1.015\u20131.161; P = 0.017), although other methods did not showed statistically significant results (MR-Egger, OR: 1.211, 95% CI: 0.842\u20131.21, P = 0.896; weighted-median, OR: 1.087, 95% CI: 0.983\u20131.202, P = 0.105). Heterogeneity test, the MR-Egger intercept, and the funnel plot did not reveal any evidence of heterogeneity (Cochran's Q statistic = 29.263; P = 0.556) or horizontal pleiotropy (intercept = 0.007; P = 0.319). The \u2018leave-one-out\u2019 analysis indicated that no individual SNP exerted a dominant influence on the main estimate. Directionality test confirmed the accuracy of the causal relationship between exposure and outcome direction in our data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
