Abstract

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is known to induce chronic inflammatory conditions, and interactions between the host immune system and pathogen have diverted attention toward investigating its correlation with extra-gastrointestinal disorders.

Objective: The present study aimed to assess the rate of H. pylori infection in cardiovascular disease (CVD) through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods: We conducted a large-scale meta-analysis to determine the prevalence rates of H. pylori infection in vascular diseases. Articles from PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, and Embase databases published between 2000 and 2023 were included for analysis. We used multiple independent observers to extract data, calculated the pooled frequency of H. pylori in vascular diseases using a random effect model, and reported the results as a weighted average based on the study population. The main outcome measures were presented with 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Results: In 87 included studies, the prevalence of H. pylori infection in vascular diseases was 56.7% worldwide. 14.25% of H. pylori isolates harbored the cagA gene. The predominant vascular complication was coronary artery disease (CAD) (31.07%), primarily documented in Europe. This meta-analysis revealed a declining emphasis on studying the association of H. pylori infection with vascular disease in recent times.

Conclusion: According to this meta-analysis, H. pylori infection has a high frequency in CVD and may increase the risk of vascular diseases. However, further research is required, particularly in nations with limited data.

期刊介绍: Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials considers good quality, novel and international research of more than regional relevance. Research must include epidemiological and/or clinical information about isolates, and the journal covers the clinical microbiology of bacteria, viruses and fungi, as well as antimicrobial treatment of infectious diseases. Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials is an open access, peer-reviewed journal focusing on information concerning clinical microbiology, infectious diseases and antimicrobials. The management of infectious disease is dependent on correct diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial treatment, and with this in mind, the journal aims to improve the communication between laboratory and clinical science in the field of clinical microbiology and antimicrobial treatment. Furthermore, the journal has no restrictions on space or access; this ensures that the journal can reach the widest possible audience.
