Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heart failure (HF) is a global epidemic affecting more than 26 million people—a number which is expected to rise. In recent years, sequencing studies have reported that the composition of the intestinal flora between HF patients and healthy individuals is different. For this reason, the human gut microbiota has been identified as a novel risk factor for HF, leading to extensive research regarding the gut–heart axis. Patients with HF have alterations to the gut microbiota as a result of microbial disturbances, possibly aggravating HF through inflammatory responses attributed to HF pathogenesis. Moreso, recent omics technologies have allowed us to appreciate the gut–heart axis via analysis of the gut bacteria and its associated metabolites (such as short-chain fatty acids and trimethylamine N-oxide) through methods including mass spectrometry. Taken together, the analysis of the microbiota and gut biomarkers, and the understanding of the gut–heart axis may lead to the development of innovative diagnostics and therapeutics.
