Why the study?
Does gut-derived serum lipopolysaccharide predict major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with atrial fibrillation, and is it affected by adherence to a Mediterranean diet?

Elevated gut-derived serum lipopolysaccharide is associated with an increased risk of MACE in atrial fibrillation patients, an effect that may be mitigated by adherence to a Mediterranean diet.

Elevated Log-LPS was associated with higher MACE risk on vitamin K antagonists; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
