A recent study highlights the gut microbiome's role in heart health, revealing that an imbalanced gut microbiome may increase heart attack risk. Involving 679 coronary heart disease patients, researchers developed an intestinal microbiota-based risk score by analyzing 10 specific bacteria strains associated with heart risk or protection. The score effectively predicts major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), showing that gut health is crucial not only for digestion but also for overall cardiovascular risk management.
Researchers combined data from 10 specific gut bacteria strains into a microbiota-based risk score, which effectively predicted future heart attack risks in patients with coronary heart disease.
The presence or absence of certain gut bacteria influences the likelihood of major adverse cardiovascular events, offering a new angle on cardiovascular health and disease prevention.
