Heart disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women and accounts for 25 percent of all deaths in the United States each year, according to Centers for Disease Control statistics.

Fortunately, most types of heart disease are largely preventable with a healthy lifestyle, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.

February is National Heart Month — time to focus on what we can do to keep our hearts healthy.

You know the things you can do to keep your heart healthy — exercise, quit smoking or never start, pay attention to your cholesterol levels, blood pressure and weight.

Here’s something you may not know. New research has found some specific cardiac conditions can be linked to your gut microbiome. And new studies continue to find that having a healthy gut can help lead to a healthy heart.

THREE WAYS A HEALTHY GUT IMPACTS HEART HEALTHArtery HardeningThe idea that a healthy gut microbiome can impact cardiovascular health is not new, but a recent study is the first to link poor gut diversity to arterial hardening in women.

Artery hardening happens at different rates as we age. It’s a well-known risk for cardiovascular disease.

The researchers at the University of Nottingham and King’s College London published their study findings about gut health and its link to cardiovascular health in the European Heart Journal.

The results suggest that diet and probiotics could be pathways to reduce the risks of cardiovascular disease.

The researchers found that the measure of artery stiffness was higher in women with a lower diversity of healthy gut bacteria. Overall, there was an association between gut microbe diversity and artery health.

Results are individual and will vary from person to person.

A lack of diversity in healthy bacteria in the gut has been associated with diabetes, obesity and inflammatory stomach and bowel diseases.

According to researchers, the study found that stiffness of arteries was more likely to be influenced by gut bacteria than risk factors such as obesity and insulin resistance.

The study builds on previous work that shows an association between gut microbiota and cardiovascular disease, according to Dr. Michael Miller, a cardiologist and director of the Center for Preventive Cardiology for the University of Maryland Medical System. “However, it is important to keep in mind that the new study was observational in nature, so that only associations can be derived, rather than causation,” Miller said.

Coronary Artery DiseaseGut health also has a role in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD), where plaque builds up in arteries.

A 2017 study in Nature found the gut microbiome of those with ACVD differed vastly compared to healthy people without the disease, indicating there may be a link between the two.

Heart Attack and StrokeGut health may also help indicate if a person is at risk for serious cardiovascular events such as a heart attack or stroke.

Dr. Regina Druz, a cardiologist from New York, notes that a certain gut bacteria can convert dietary choline from eggs and red meat into a damaging substance called trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO). According to Druz, this substance can damage blood vessels, and researchers have found a strong link between TMAO and ACVD, which can lead to vascular events.

Elevated levels of TMAO contribute to a heightened risk for blood clot-related events such as heart attack and stroke, according to Dr. Elizabeth Klodas, a cardiologist from Minnesota who has a line of food for heart health. She’s also the founding editor-in-chief of CardioSmart.org, the patient education effort of the American College of Cardiology.

Klodas said the heightened risk of blood clotting remains even after accounting for the presence of conventional risk factors (like high blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes) and other markers of inflammation.

An analysis of more than 2,000 people with heart disease found those with higher blood levels of TMAO had a fourfold greater risk of dying from any cause over the subsequent five years, according to Klodas.

This is why so many doctors recommend a low-fat diet and less red meat for optimal heart health.

The researchers agreed that although study findings show a link between gut health and heart health, much more research is needed to determine if probiotics can improve the diversity of gut microbes enough to improve heart health.

Even if probiotics do not affect diversity of the gut microbiota, they have been shown in many clinical studies to reduce levels of cholesterol and of C-reactive protein, which are both related to heart disease, according to Klodas.
