Duration of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Is Associated with Alterations in Human Gut Microbiota and Metabolic Phenotypes

Abstract excerpt

Atrial fibrillation was associated with a disordered gut microbiota in previous research. However, the gut microbiota signature of patients at different stages of atrial fibrillation remains largely unknown. We sought to determine whether the shift in the gut microbiota and metabolic profiles occurs early and remains stable or develops gradually during atrial fibrillation. We found that patients with persistent...
