Hypoxic responsiveness and gut fermentation capacity in heart failure patients: preliminary results
Our preliminary results, derived from a small, uncontrolled physiological experiment conducted in 12 H F patients, imply a link between the upper gut microbial fermentation capacity and the baseline peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity in this population. Given the exploratory and non-randomized design, these findings should be interpreted with caution, and larger controlled studies are needed to confirm the nature and clinical relevance of this association.
