Abstract The aim of his study was: To assess the frequency of C. Pneumonia, H. Pylori, herpes simplex virus type l (HSV-I)and CMV antibodies in patients with ACS. 2-To evaluate weather previous exposure to these infections is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events. from this study it can be concluded that: 1- no significant association could be demonstrated between H. pylori, CMV or HSV I and the presence of CAD either ACS or chronic coronary artery disease. So, screening patients with CAD for these infections would do little to prevent acute events and prevent conversion of stable disease to life threatening condition. 2- C. pneumonia infection is prevalent in CAD patients particularly those with ACS, as there was a significant association between C. pneumonia IgG antibodies and ACS.SO C. pneumonia infection poses a greater risk for ACS. |
