Gut microbe and its metabolite may protect the heart from atrial fibrillation

Restoring R. gnavus or supplementing isovaleric acid could be a promising microbiota–based strategy to prevent or treat atrial fibrillation. 

Gut microbiome, diet and cardiometabolic health: why large-scale data matter

Francesco Asnicar, University of Trento (Italy), explores the role of the human gut microbiome in cardiometabolic health and diet, focusing on microbial species linked to metabolic and dietary markers.

Mouth bacteria might play an active role in obesity

Computer models combining oral bacteria, their metabolic functions, and saliva chemicals could better distinguish obese from healthy individuals compared with clinical measurements alone. 

Gut microbes may be linked to heart damage in chronic kidney disease

Gut microbes could be a target for preventing kidney disease-related heart failure.

Gut microbes may be linked to increased blood clotting and heart disease risk

Targeting specific gut bacteria and their metabolites could offer new ways to prevent or treat cardiovascular disease linked to diet and gut health.

Diet, microbiome, and health: decoding the influence of coffee on gut bacteria

Nicola Segata, from University of Trento, investigates the intricate links between diet, microbiome composition, and cardiometabolic outcomes.

Cholesterol-metabolizing gut microbes may protect against heart disease

The findings of a recent study shed light on how the microbiota impacts cholesterol levels. They may also inform microbial-based interventions against high cholesterol.

A gut microbial metabolite may promote blood clot formation

The findings of a recent study suggest that 2MBC exacerbates the susceptibility to thrombosis and may explain why people with COVID-19 are at increased thrombotic risk.

Gut microbes may contribute to statin-associated high blood sugar levels

The findings show that statin-induced high blood sugar levels are associated with Clostridium bacteria and bile acids. The work also suggests that ursodiol may help reduce the adverse effects of…

Unveiling the link between gut microbiome and atrial fibrillation: insights from a large population study

A recent study poses the basis for the use of microbiome profile in AF risk prediction.
