Key Words Gut microbiome; Chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity; Short-chain fatty acids; Trimethylamine-N-oxide; Gut-heart axis; Microbiome-targeted therapies
Core Tip This systematic review highlights the emerging role of the gut microbiome in chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity, focusing on how dysbiosis disrupts microbial metabolite balance, particularly short-chain fatty acids and trimethylamine-N-oxide, to drive inflammation, oxidative stress, and cardiac damage. The review synthesizes mechanistic insights and evaluates microbiome-targeted interventions such as probiotics, prebiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation. It emphasizes the gut-heart axis as a novel therapeutic target in cardio-oncology and underscores the need for standardized clinical trials to translate these findings into personalized medicine.
