As a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease worldwide, hypertension poses threats that cannot be ignored. In recent years, the role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of hypertension has gradually become a research hotspot. This review systematically explores the relationship between gut microbiota and hypertension and elaborates on the mechanisms of gut microbiota regulation of blood pressure by mediating inflammatory responses, influencing the microbiota-gut-brain axis, and producing specific metabolites. Furthermore, this article discusses the potential application value of gut microbiota-based intervention strategies in the prevention and treatment of hypertension and reveals the potential targets and evidence of gut microbiota in the treatment of hypertension and its complications, paving a new way for the exploration of therapeutic methods.
