Abstract:This study examined the effect of sleep disturbance on gut microbiota (GM), atrial substrate, and atrial fibrillation (AF) inducibility. C57BL/6 mice were subjected to six weeks of sleep deprivation (SD) using the method of modified multiple-platform. Transesophageal burst pacing was performed to evaluate AF inducibility. Feces, plasma, and an atrium were collected and analyzed by 16s rRNA sequencing, liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based metabolome, histological studies, and transcriptome.
