Story at-a-glance

A specific gut microbiome pattern was found to help predict future heart attacks in coronary heart disease patients, offering a new tool beyond cholesterol and blood pressure monitoring
Researchers identified 10 key bacterial strains tied to heart attack risk and created a scoring system that flags high-risk individuals before symptoms appear
Patients with high-risk gut profiles showed more inflammation, insulin resistance, and higher levels of dangerous compounds like trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and endotoxins
Global research confirms gut bacteria influence heart disease through microbial metabolites like short-chain fatty acids, bile acids, and lipopolysaccharide-related immune responses
Natural interventions like berberine, dietary shifts, and fecal transplants show promise in reshaping gut health and reducing cardiovascular risk
