Abstract

Myocardial infarction (CAD) is known as the main cause of death in developed and developing countries. A relation between this disease and Helicobacter pylori has been displayed in several studies. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between H. pylori infection and myocardial infarctions diseases. Methods: 72 myocardial infarction patients as well as 20 Control samples. Levels of serum IgM antibodies against H. pylori were measured by ELIZA technique while IgG antibodies by Rapid Cassette test (CAS), also the blood samples were collected sent to rapid tests of CRP-Latex test as an indicator.

From 92 participants, 72 were patients and 20 were control subjects. The percentage of IgM positive cases against H. pylori was 86.11% in the case group and 45% in the control group (p: 0.29), while (52.7%) in the case group and (60%) in the control group were positive to antiHP IgG (p=0.53). according to statistical data, this study showed no significant association between myocardial infarction disease & H. pylori infection (P > 0.05).
