Abstract
Background: Infection with Helicobacter pylori (HP) is the most prevalent infection worldwide, particularly in
underdeveloped nations. It is reported to be associated with many extra gastrointestinal manifestations.
Objective: The current work aimed to study the prevalence of HP infection among patients with acute myocardial
infarction (AMI). Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study included STEMI and NSTEMI patients admitted
with AMI in the CCU of the Cardiology Department at Benha University Hospital, Egypt.
Results: The prevalence of HP among the studied patients was 72%. Our study showed that those with positive HP
Ig-G had considerably lower triglycerides than those with negative HP Ig-G. No significant differences were observed
regarding hemoglobin, TLC, platelets, serum creatinine, blood urea, ALT, AST, total cholesterol, HDL, and LDL. In
patients with positive HP Ig-G, significant negative correlations were observed between ejection fraction (EF) and
blood urea, serum creatinine, and AST.
Conclusion: In this study, HP is related to the incidence of MI. The elimination of HP prevents the onset of CAD and
associated consequences.
