Effect of Azithromycin Treatment on Endothelial Function in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease and Evidence of <b> <i>Chlamydia pneumoniae</i> </b> Infection

Abstract

Our findings indicate that treatment with azithromycin has a favorable effect on endothelial function in patients with documented coronary artery disease and evidence of CPn infection irrespective of antibody titer levels. Whether these favorable actions of antibiotic treatment will translate into a beneficial effect on atherogenesis and cardiac events needs further investigation.
