Helicobacter pylori, Inflammation, and Long-Term Outcome in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction : A Prospective Cohort Study
Background: Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and its virulence factor Cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) have been linked to myocardial infarction (MI), but the mechanisms are unknown. This study aims to test if Hp infection and CagA are associated with pre-specified inflammatory and vascular biomarkers in patients with MI and to explore whether a broader biomarker panel can predict infection.
