Abstract | <p><b>BACKGROUND: </b>Growing evidence indicates that trimethylamine -oxide, a gut microbial metabolite of dietary choline and carnitine, promotes both cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease risk. It remains unclear how circulating concentrations of trimethylamine -oxide and its related dietary and gut microbe-derived metabolites (choline, betaine, carnitine, γ-butyrobetaine, and crotonobetaine) affect incident heart failure (HF).</p><p><b>METHODS: </b>We evaluated 11 768 participants from the Cardiovascular Health Study and the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis with serial measures of metabolites. Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine the associations between metabolites and incident HF, adjusted for cardiovascular disease risk factors.</p><p><b>RESULTS: </b>In all, 2102 cases of HF occurred over a median follow-up of 15.9 years. After adjusting for traditional risk factors, higher concentrations of trimethylamine -oxide (hazard ratio, 1.15 [95% CI, 1.09-1.20]; <0.001), choline (hazard ratio, 1.44 [95% CI, 1.26-1.64]; <0.001), and crotonobetaine (hazard ratio, 1.24 [95% CI, 1.16-1.32]; <0.001) were associated with increased risk for incident HF. After further adjustment for renal function (potential confounder or mediator), these associations did not reach Bonferroni-corrected statistical significance (=0.01, 0.049, and 0.006, respectively). Betaine and carnitine were nominally associated with a higher incidence of HF (<0.05). In exploratory analyses, results were similar for subtypes of HF based on left ventricular ejection fraction, and associations appeared generally stronger among Black and Hispanic/Latino versus White adults, although there were no interactions for any metabolites with race.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS: </b>In this pooled analysis of 2 well-phenotyped, diverse, community-based cohorts, circulating concentrations of gut microbe-derived metabolites such as trimethylamine -oxide, choline, and crotonobetaine were independently associated with a higher risk of developing HF.</p><p><b>REGISTRATION: </b>URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/; Unique identifiers: NCT00005133 and NCT00005487.</p> |
