Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of death around the world. Most of the cardiovascular diseases are caused by sedentary life style, bad eating habit, tobacco smoking, high alcohol intake, dyslipidemia and genetic factors .Recently the idea of human microbiome science has emerged in diseases pathogenesis .The human gut is a house of trillions of microbial fl oral. Since a couple of decades ago, there has been interesting insights into the human gut microbiota and have highlighted its increasingly association to cardiovascular (CV) and metabolic diseases. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), which is a metabolic product from gut microbiota plays a central role in cardiovascular disease pathogenesis. Nature of microbial inhabitants within the host has been noticed by the numbers of scientists and researchers to understand more about the hidden mechanism of diseases pathogenesis including cardiovascular disease, metabolic and autoimmune diseases and it has become a good hope to develop new drug designs to prevent metabolic and cardiovascular disease in near future.
