STUDY OF HELICOBACTER PYLORI INFECTION AND CORONARY HEART DISEASE ASSOCIATION IN PATIENTS WITH AND WITHOUT DIABETES MELLITUS

Abstract

Evidences had recently been published suggesting that the prevalence of H. pylori infection might be increased in diabetic patients. The extradigestive manifestations of H. pylori infection including cerebrovascular and cardiovascular involvements are strongly suggested, there is now a growing body of evidence to strongly suggest that coronary heart disease may be primarily an infectious disease.
