Abstract
Relation between Patients with Gastric Helicobacter pylori Infection and Dyslipidemia
Highlights
Helicobacter pylori infection is an etiological factor for the development of peptic ulcer and gastric cancer[1,2]
Preliminary reports have suggested that chronic infections for H. pylori and other infections can be associated with atherosclerosis and vascular disease
The objective of this study is to evaluate the relation between gastric H. pylori infection and dyslipidemia; given that proving a relation between H. pylori and cardiovascular risk factors might be an important finding to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease
Summary
Helicobacter pylori infection is an etiological factor for the development of peptic ulcer and gastric cancer[1,2]. Preliminary reports have suggested that chronic infections for H. pylori and other infections can be associated with atherosclerosis and vascular disease. Most studies have not confirmed the association between the chronic diseases and the arterial coronary disease[1,3,4]. Dyslipidemia includes a group of disorders in the metabolism of cholesterol and triglycerides, which has implications in the cardiovascular system, producing pathologies as vascular coronary disease and atherosclerosis[5]. Dyslipidemia affects half of American adults and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), cardiovascular death, and all-cause mortality.
