Product of Gut Microbiome Implicated in Heart Failure Risk
Sue Hughes December 22, 2022 Further evidence that the gut microbiome affects the development of cardiovascular disease, heart failure in particular, has emerged in a new report. The study directly linked elevated levels of phenylacetylglutamine (PAG), a byproduct created when microbes in the gut break down dietary protein, to increased heart failure risk and severity. It follows...
