Causal Effect of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease on Unexplained Dizziness: A Mendelian Randomization Study

Previous cohort studies have suggested an association between cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) and "unexplained dizziness". The causality of this link remains uncertain, but it would be of significant clinical importance, considering the substantial number of patients presenting with unexplained dizziness is large. We aimed to investigate the causal effect of cSVD-related phenotypes on unexplained dizziness using a Mendelian randomization approach.
