Seroepidemiology of Helicobacter Pylori infection in Patients With Coronary Syndrome in Gorgan

Abstract Background and objectives: most common causes of morbidity and mortality in industrial and developing countries. Recent studies have suggested that A coronary heart disease is one of the Helicobacter pylori heart disease therefore, this study was carried out in Gorgan, Iran, to show the relationship between coronary disease and Helicobacter pylori infection. caused infection may be associated with chronic Materials and Methods: carried out on 109 patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome and 85 healthy individuals, ELISA was used to determine Anti Helicobacter pylori Anti bodies (IgA, IgG ). In this cross sectional case-control study Results: while in control group were %32.9 and %62.4. There was significant difference between IgA of two groups (p<0.007). Simultaneous presence of both IgG and IgA in patients affected by Coronary disease was meaningful (p<0.003). IgA and IgG antibodies of case group were %51.4 and %53.2 Conclusion be related to coronary disease, we suggest their investigation in suspected individuals. : Since Simultaneous presence of both IgG and IgA may Key word Antibody : Acute Coronary syndrome, Helicobacter Pylori,
