Description
Summary:Abstract. Heart failure (HF) is a global public health problem, with morbidity and mortality increasing year by year. The gut microbiome actively affects the physiological and pathological activities of the human body in a variety of ways. More and more studies have suggested a strong correlation between HF and gut microbiome metabolites. Our review summarizes the specific alteration of these metabolites and their connection to the progression of HF, aiming at considering new approaches toward regulating the gut microbiome and using its metabolic pathways to treat HF, potentially decreasing the morbidity and mortality of HF as well as improving prognosis.
