Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) has become a major public health issue in China. Gut microbiota has gradually become a CHD research hotspot in terms of auxiliary diagnosis, treatment and prevention targets. Results from multiple studies have shown that gut microbiota dysbiosis may mediate the process of CHD directly or indirectly through their metabolites, and some intestinal probiotics could inhibit the progression of atherosclerosis. The research advances on the related mechanism and their diagnostic efficacy as biomarkers of gut microbiota and metabolites in CHD are reviewed here to provide a reference for current and future clinical application.
