Abstract
Up to 25% of individuals with newly diagnosed ischaemic heart disease (IHD) have no recognised risk factors. This has prompted the investigation of other “potential” risks factors. The role of infection in the development of ischaemic heart disease remains controversial. Associations between CMV seropositivity and endothelial dysfunction have been described, along with myocardial infarction at a young age. Using a cohort of cardiac transplant recipients we investigated the putative role of CMV in the development of ischaemic heart disease.
