Although substantial progress has been made in understanding the roles of gut microbiota, probiotics, and TCM in CHD, several priorities remain before this field can move from mechanistic insight to clinically actionable intervention. Future work should focus on five directions: AI-assisted systems interdisciplinary platform modeling, precision stratification, construction, integration of microbiome regulation into secondary prevention frameworks.

Advances in multi-omics technologies, metagenomics, artificial intelligence, and systems biology are facilitating a more compre- hensive understanding of host–microbe interactions and microbial ecosystem dynamics (Hasin et al., 2017; The Integrative HMP (iHMP) Research Network Consortium, 2019). These approaches have the potential to accelerate the development of precision medicine strategies that integrate microbiome profiles, host immune responses, and pathogen characteristics to improve disease prediction and therapeutic outcomes.
