Interaction between gut microbiome and cardiovascular disease
How Gut Bacteria and Heart Disease Affect Each Other
AI simplified
Abstract
Gut microbiota and its metabolites may play a pivotal role in the onset and development of cardiovascular disease.
- Traditional cardiovascular risk factors do not account for all cases of cardiovascular disease.
- Gut bacteria can metabolize nutrients into substances like trimethylamine-N-oxide and short-chain fatty acids.
- These metabolites are associated with various cardiovascular conditions, including atherosclerosis and heart failure.
- Targeting gut microbiota and their metabolic pathways has shown potential benefits for cardiovascular health.
- The review discusses mechanisms driving cardiovascular diseases related to gut microbiota and potential therapeutic approaches.
