The microbiota in parkinson's disease: ranking the risk of heart disease

This letter is a commenting on the article recently published in Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism entitled “Parkinson's Disease and Gut Microbiota” by Hirayama and Ohno published in your esteemed journal. In brief, the authors properly discussed the recent research on possible mechanisms of how gut dysbiosis is causally associated with the development and progression of Parkinson’s Disease. However , we would like to add some thoughts that may open the debate about the relationship between gut microbiome dysbiosis and cardiac disorders, highlighting the possible role of this association with the occurrence of some cases of sudden death in Parkinson’s Disease.
