Abstract

In a cohort of 1208 patients with chronic heart failure after myocardial infarction, elevated levels were associated with a hazard ratio of 2.31 for .

  • TMAO levels were higher in older patients with histories of atrial fibrillation and diabetes.
  • Cox regression analysis indicated a significant predictive value of TMAO for major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after adjusting for traditional risk factors.
  • The risk of MACE increased with higher TMAO levels, particularly when levels exceeded the median.
  • TMAO was also identified as an independent predictor of all-cause mortality with a hazard ratio of 2.15 after adjustment for conventional risk factors.
