The association of acute aortic dissection with Helicobacter pylori virulence specific serotypes: Distinct diversity of systemic antibodies to CagA and VacA genotypes.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Previous studies reported an association between chronic Helicobacter pylori infection and cardiovascular disease; however, controversy still exists regarding the presence of bacterial genomic material in atherosclerotic plaques. Currently, the genetic polymorphisms of H. pylori have been investigated and many virulence factors have been identified. No one has tried to associate these polymorphisms...
