Reassessing the association between celiac disease and cardiovascular events: A large propensity-matched analysis from a global federated research network

The authors aimed to evaluate the independent association between celiac disease and cardiovascular outcomes using a large real-world database. Their analysis found that patients with celiac disease had lower risks of all-cause death, acute myocardial infarction, and incident heart failure compared to matched controls, suggesting that previous associations between celiac disease and increased cardiovascular risk may be due to residual confounding rather than a direct link.
