Plasma trimethylamine-n-oxide associates with reduced hippocampal volume and cognitive impairment in atrial fibrillation
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Abstract Background/Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in modern society and affected patients appear particularly vulnerable to cognitive dysfunction. Yet, the pathomechanism of this association other than thromboembolism (TE) is not fully understood. We have shown earlier an association of cognitive dysfunction with the gut microbiome derivate trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), which predominantly results from the consumption of red meat. We therefore hypothesized that TMAO may affect hippocampal volume (HV) as a brain structure relevant for cognition. Purpose To demonstrate the structure-function correlation of high TMAO levels with reduced cognitive function and lower HV in a large cohort of patients with atrial fibrillation. Methods We included 1’736 patients with confirmed AF from the Swiss-AF-cohort with both, available blood samples for TMAO measurement and with brain magnetic resonance imaging (bMRI) for the determination of HV at baseline. TMAO levels were measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). bMRI were obtained by 1.5 or 3 Tesla scanners. HV was assessed by the FreeSurfer software (v 7.4.0) subregion segmentation module and normalized by using Sequence Adaptive Multimodal SEGmentation (SAMSEG) to determine the segmentation based intracranial volume. Patients were divided into TMAO quartiles (Q1: 0.6-3.8, Q2: 3.8-5.5, Q3: 5.5-8.5, Q4: 8.5-164.3μmol/l). Their TMAO levels were compared with their HV (unit = mm3) in linear mixed effect models adjusted for multiple covariates (model 1: age, sex, total intracranial volume (ICV), education level; model 2 = model 1 + smoking status, body mass index (BMI), alcohol consumption, physical activity; model 3 = model 2 + hypertension, coronary artery disease, previous stroke, geriatric depression scale). We assessed both unilateral HV (right = RHV, left = LHV) and bilateral HV standardized by the individual total ICV. Results Overall mean age was 72.5 years (+/-8.4 SD), 27.2% were female. Most of the patients were well educated (39.4% advanced, 48.8% middle education) and 44% never smoked. After multivariable adjustments, patients in the highest TMAO quartile showed a significant reduction of bilateral HV volume of 93.4mm3 (95% CI -179.0 to -7.8, p = 0.03). The RHV appeared more affected and was significantly reduced by 48.2mm3 (CI -93.4, -3.0, p=0.04), whereas LHV was decreased by 44.2mm3 (-89.4, 1.0, p=0.06) in the highest TMAO quartile. Conclusion(s) TMAO negatively associates with bilateral HV in patients with AF. Our results suggest a structure-function-correlation between high TMAO levels and cognitive dysfunction. The findings may be relevant for the high TMAO-exposed patients and advocates for the importance of (possible dietary) prevention in AF.
