Association between plasma trimethylamine-N-oxide and cognitive impairment in patients with transient ischemic attack

CONCLUSION: Plasma TMAO at baseline was independently associated with cognitive impairment at the 3-month follow-up after TIA. In addition, the inflammatory marker CRP may serve as an important mediator in this relationship. Our study may provide some insights into anti-inflammatory therapy to improve the cognitive trajectory of TIA patients with high TMAO levels.PMID:36789535 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2023.2176632
