Abstract: Intestinal microorganisms and their metabolites are involved in the pathogenesis and progression of various cardiovascular diseases,especially in the progression of heart failure.This paper mainly discussed the gut microbial metabolites trimethylamine oxide(TMAO)participated in the pathological process of heart failure,and application value of TMAO in heart failure patients.This paper introduced the change characteristics of intestinal flora and its metabolites in heart failure patients,illu-minated the TMAO-mediated inflammatory response,and the related signal pathways and mechanism of myocardial hypertrophy and heart failure.High levels of TMAO are associated with poor outcomes in patients with heart failure indicating a good predictive value for the prognosis of heart failure.Regulating TMAO levels through diet,probiotics and prebiotics,antibiotics,fecal transplan-tation,and other pathways is expected to be a potential treatment for heart failure.
