Abstract EN
Background : cardiovascular diseases are among the most common cause of death in Developed countries.
In addition to traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease, nowadays, accumulating evidence indicates that a variety of infectious agents may contribute to pathogenesis of ischemic heart disease.
Patients and methods : 125 patients (25 females and 100 males) attending the department of cardiology, teaching hospital over the period December 2008- June 2009were enrolled.
Their age range between (39-75 years) compared with 50 healthy individuation (Age & sex matched).
The sera were tested for H.
pylori antibodies using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results : 80 % of patients showed the anti-H.
Pylori IgGs (P<0.05).
But there were no significant association between risk factors & H.
pylori infection (P > 0.05).
Conclusions : these findings raise the possibility that exposure to H.
pylori may lead to increased risk of coronary artery disease independent of other risk factors.
