Gut microbiota coronary artery disease heart health microbiome research
Discover how scientists have mapped gut bacteria associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of death worldwide. This video explores recent findings from a study in mSystems, revealing how microbes influence CAD progression through inflammation, metabolic imbalance, and pathways like the urea cycle.
Learn about the 15 bacterial species identified, including the dual roles of bacteria like Akkermansia muciniphila and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, which can be beneficial or harmful depending on context. We break down the complexity of microbes in disease, including the 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' nature of Lachnospiraceae.
The study highlights the potential for precision interventions, such as stool-based screening and nutritional therapies to prevent heart disease. Watch to understand the heart-gut connection and how microbial therapies could reduce the global burden of cardiovascular diseases.
Key points covered: metagenomic sequencing, functional shifts in gut microbes, loss of protective bacteria, and future steps for integrating microbial data with genetics and metabolomics.
