Insights into the associations between the gut microbiome, its metabolites, and heart failure

Abstract excerpt

We found a reduction in gut bacterial alpha diversity in patients with heart failure (HF) and that the stool microbiota of patients with HF was characterized by depletion of operational taxonomic units representing commensal Clostridia at both baseline and follow-up. Patients with HF also had altered bacterial metabolites and increased inflammatory profiles compared with healthy controls. A distinct metabolomic...
