Gut microbiota: A new protagonist in the risk of cardiovascular disease?
Clínica e Investigación en Arteriosclerosis 2019 Februrary 6
Cardiovascular disease remains the first cause of mortality in Western countries. New strategies for prevention and control of cardiovascular disease are needed. At the same time, the incidence of risk factors that lead to the development of this disease, such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes, continues to rise. Therefore, the search for new markers or mediators is a priority in most cardiovascular prevention programs. The study of the intestinal microbiota is emerging because it is known that intestinal microorganisms act collectively as an integrated organ, regulating multiple biological functions that can modulate cardiovascular risk factors and the pathogenic mechanisms of this process. This review considers the current situation regarding the influence of gut microbiota on cardiovascular disease and particularly, its influence on the main traditional risk factors that lead to cardiovascular disease, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension and lipids.
