Association of gut microbiome dysbiosis with the progression of atrial fibrillation: A systematic review

Abstract: Objective: Many clinical and preclinical studies have implicated an association between atrial fibrillation (AF) and its progression to imbalances in the gut microbiome composition. The gut microbiome is a diverse and complex ecosystem containing billions of microorganisms that produce biologically active metabolites influencing the host disease development.Methods: For this review, a literature search was conducted using digital databases to systematically identify the studies reporting the association of gut… Show more

“…These cells can infiltrate the atrial tissue and produce pro-inflammatory cytokines, ultimately leading to the development of atrial fibrosis and electrical remodeling ( 29 , 30 ). Additionally, the gut-heart axis has emerged as a potential mechanism linking the gut microbiota to the development of AF, whereby gut dysbiosis can result in increased levels of circulating inflammatory markers and subsequent atrial remodeling ( 31 ). In conclusion, the MHC-related pathway plays a crucial role in immune response by presenting antigens to T cells, which are a fundamental component of the immune system.…”

“…The lack or disorder of gut flora seriously affects the body's decomposition of polysaccharides in food and absorption of lipids, leading to dysfunction of the liver and adipose tissue, and inducing a series of metabolic diseases, such as obesity, fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, and cardio-cerebral vascular disease [ 12 ]. Recently, several studies have proposed a new concept of the cardio-intestinal axis, suggesting a role for the gut microbiota in the development of various cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease, hypertension and heart failure [ 13 ]. It has been noted that a wide range of bacteria have been identified in atherosclerotic plaques, and reduced diversity of the gut microbiota has been observed in patients with heart failure, but studies on gut microbial profiles and various types of arrhythmias are unclear [ 14 ].…”

“…Gut microbiota acts at the heart health through its metabolites toxicity: increasing plasma lipopolysaccharides (LPS), trimethylamine (TMA), trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), bile acids, indole sulfate and decreasing fecal short chain fatty acids (SCFA) due to impaired intestinal barrier function [9]. That leads for autonomic remodeling (increasing sympathetic activity in heart innervation), structural remodeling (cardiac fibrosis, sell apoptosis, increasing conduction velocity) and electrical remodeling (reduction effective refractory period and increase after depolarizations) [10].…”
