Abstract
Recent findings indicate that gut microbial metabolism may significantly influence cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.
- Diet contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease through complex interactions with gut microbes.
- Microbial-associated molecular patterns are recognized by host receptors and may play a role in CVD pathogenesis.
- The gut microbiota generates metabolites like trimethylamine-N-oxide and short-chain fatty acids that can impact cardiovascular health.
- Targeting host-microbe interactions could be a promising strategy for preventing or treating cardiovascular disease.
- Further research is necessary to establish direct causal links between microbial mechanisms and the development of CVD.
