Summary

This study looks at whether the bacteria in your gut can affect how your heart heals after a heart attack procedure called PCI. Researchers will measure a substance called TMAO, made by gut bacteria, in 144 patients. The goal is to see if TMAO levels are linked to changes in heart structure and function over time.
