Gut bacteria as a new factor influencing heart function and disease

AI simplified

Abstract

Gut dysbiosis is linked to the development and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

  • Changes in gut bacteria composition may influence cardiovascular health.
  • Risk factors for CVD, such as obesity and poor diet, can induce gut dysbiosis.
  • Dysbiosis is associated with inflammation in the intestines and compromised gut barrier function.
  • Increased levels of bacterial components and microbial metabolites may contribute to CVD development.
  • The review focuses on how nutrition-related changes in the microbiome affect CVD risk.
