Circulating levels of Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a gut microbiome-mediated metabolite
related to Western diet1, 2
, have been shown to be associated with risk stratification and outcome in
patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF)
3-6
. The aim of the present study
was to assess the associations between TMAO with outcomes in patients with HF with preserved
ejection fraction (HFpEF).
