Association between Infection with Helicobacter pylori andMyocardial Infarction
Vzťah medzi infekciou Helicobacter pylori a infarktom myokardu
Cieľ práce.
Cieľom práce bolo zhodnotiť vzťah medzi infarktom myokardu a sérologicky dokumentovanouinfekciou Helicobacterom pylori.Metodika. Do štúdie bolo zaradených 193 pacientov. Akútny infarkt myokardu bol dokumentovaný u 45pacientov na základe diagnostických kritérií podľa doporučenia Americkej kardiologickej spoločnosti. InfekciaHelicobacterom pylori bola stanovená sérologicky metódou ELISA. Pravdepodobnosť séroprevalencie infekcieHelicobacterom pylori u pacientov po infarkte myokardu bola hodnotená výpočtom pomeru štatistickej nezhody (Odds ratio).Výsledky. Nebol nájdený vzťah medzi infekciou Helicobacter pylori a infarktom myokardu (pomer štatistickejnezhody 1,4, 95% interval spoľahlivosti 0,54–2,5, p = 0,50).Závery. Naše údaje nepotvrdzujú vzťah medzi infekciou Helicobacterom pylori a koronárnou chorobou srdca.

Summary
Aim.
The aim of the study was to assess the relation between myocardial infarction and serologically documented infection with Helicobacter pylori.Method. The study group consisted of 193 patients. Acute myocardial infarction was documented in 45patients according to the diagnostic criteria by the American Society of Cardiology. Infection with Helicobac-ter pylori was assessed by ELISA assay. The likelihood of seroprevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection inpatients after myocardial infarction was assessed by calculating the odds ratio.Results. There was no association between Helicobacter pylori infection and myocardial infarction (odds ratio1.4, 95% confidence interval 0.54–2.5, p = 0.50).Conclusion. Our data do not prove association between Helicobacter pylori infection and coronary arterydisease.
Key words:
