Prospective Study of Potentially Virulent Strains of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> and Coronary Heart Disease in Middle-Aged Men

Abstract

H pylori infection is not strongly related to the incidence of CHD in late middle-aged men, and CagA-positive strains appear to be no more strongly related to the disease than other strains. However, further studies are required to confirm or refute the existence of any moderate associations, particularly at younger ages.
