Abstract

Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Especially in recent years a substantial amount of studies are held to determine the relation between atherosclerosis and Helicobacter pylori. The aim of this study was to determine serum H. pylori IgG and IgA and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in atherosclerotic, ectatic and normal groups diagnosed by coronary angiography. Eighty-four patients were enrolled in the study. There were no difference in H. pylori IgG seroprevalence between atherosclerotic, ectatic and normal groups (p=0.772). Although serum CRP (6.59 mg/L in normal and 11.63 in three vessel involvement) levels and H. pylori IgA seropositivity (7.7% in normal and 18.8% in three vessel involvement) increase with the number of vessel involvement, the relation was not statistically related (p=0.271; p=0.942) which is probably related to the limited number of cases. There are studies that support or oppose the relation between H. pylori and atherosclerosis. To propose a definite relation, molecular identification methods, immunohistochemical procedures and studies with bigger groups should be performed.

Özet

Ateroskleroz gelişmiş ülkelerde en sık hastalanma ve ölüm nedenidir. Özellikle son yıllarda Helicobacter pylori ve ateroskleroz arasındaki ilişkiyi saptamaya yönelik çalışmalar yapılmaktadır. Çalışmada, anjiyo sonuçlarına göre saptanmış aterosklerozlu, ektatik ve normal damarlı gruplarda serum H. pylori IgG ve IgA antikor seroprevalansı ve serum C-reaktif protein (CRP) değerlerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmaya 84 hasta alındı. Normal, ateroskleroktik ve ektatik gruplar arasında serum H. pylori Ig G düzeylerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı (p=0.772). Serum CRP düzeyleri (normalgrupta 6.59 mg/L, üç damarı tıkalı grupta 11.63 mg/L) ve serum H. pylori Ig A pozitifliği (normal grupta %7.7, üç daman tıkalı grupta %18.8) ile aterosklerozlu damar sayısı arasında doğru orantılı bir ilişki olmasına karşın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (p=0.271) (p=0.942). Literatürde H. pylori ile ateroskleroz arasındaki ilişkiyi hem destekleyen hem de desteklemeyen araştırmalar vardır. Helicobacter pylori ve ateroskleroz arasındaki ilişkiyi kesin saptamak için hem çok geniş gruplarda çalışmaya hem de aterom plaklarından moleküler yöntemlerle ve immünohistolojik boyalarla direkt mikrobiyolojik identifikasyona gerek vardır.
