Influence of Enteral Microbiome on Mortality of Patients With Cardiogenic Shock

Cardiogenic shock is associated with a high mortality. The microbiome is a double-edged sword which can convey protective and detrimental cardiovascular effects. The significance of the enteral micobiome on cardiovascular mortality of patients with cardiogenic shock is still not known. This study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the role of the enteral microbiome and microbiome dependent metabolites in mortality and disease progression of patients with cardiogenic shock.
