This study sought to systematically investigate, if there are specific changes of the intestinal microbiome in heart failure patients, and if there is specific change in the incidence and clinical course of heart failure.
Abstract
In spite of current medical treatment approaches, mortality of chronic heart failure (HF) remains high and novel treatment modalities are thus urgently needed. A recent theory proposes a possible impact of the intestinal microbiome on the incidence and clinical course of heart failure. This study sought to systematically investigate, if there are specific changes of the intestinal microbiome in heart failure patients.
