Could your gut hold the secret to your heart health?
NCT ID NCT02013284
Summary
This Mayo Clinic study aims to find out if the types of bacteria living in a person's gut are linked to their risk of heart disease. Researchers will collect blood and stool samples from 700 adults who are already scheduled for a heart catheterization test. By comparing the gut bacteria and blood markers of people with different levels of heart disease, they hope to learn if the microbiome could one day help predict or prevent heart problems.
