Using machine learning to analyze the bacteria in a person’s gut microbiome could be a better way to screen for cardiovascular disease.

A machine learning model was able to detect different clusters of gut bacteria that could potentially identify individuals with existing cardiovascular disease (CVD), according to a study published in the journal Hypertension.

Recent studies have found a link between gut microbiota, the microorganisms in human digestive tracts, and CVD, the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Gut microbiota is highly variable between individuals, and differences in gut microbial compositions between people with and without CVD have been reported.

“Based on our previous research linking gut microbiota to CVD in animal models, we designed this study to test whether it...
