IntroductionHelicobacter pylori (HP) infection is known to target the gastrointestinal system and is associated with extra gastrointestinal manifestations, but there is limited literature on cardiac associations. The most supported pathogenesis uses chronic inflammation as a risk factor causing atherosclerosis resulting in cardiovascular disease. Our aim is to evaluate whether there is an association between HP infection and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and coronary artery disease (CAD).MethodWe performed a retrospective single center study at our medical center from 2005 to 2014 consisting of 1,671 patients who underwent Coronary Angiography (CA). We divided these patients into two groups based on CA reports. Patients with CAD defined as left main stenosis of ≥50% or any stenosis of ≥70% versus normal coronaries. We reviewed each patient chart to determine the prevalence of positive serum HP IgG antibody. Smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia and obesity were also considered in each group.ResultsOf 1,671 patients, 1,237 had evidence of CAD vs 434 with normal coronary arteries. Twelve percent of CAD patients were found to have seropositive HP (SPHP) versus 1% in the control group (OR: 7.3, 95% CI: 3.5–15, p<0.0001) as depicted in figure 1. When we looked at the CAD group and compared SPHP patients to seronegative HP (SNHP) patients we found a greater amount of multiple coronary vessels disease in the SPHP group (OR: 1.4, 95% CI: 1.1–2, P=0.04). With regards to AMI, 30% of the SPHP group presented with AMI versus 10% seen in the SNHP group (OR: 4.3, 95% CI: 3–6.5, p<0.0001). In the CAD group with SPHP there was more hyperlipidemia and a higher BMI than in the CAD SNHP group (p<0.0001 and <0.0001, respectively), but there was no statistical difference between the two groups for the risk factors of smoking, hypertension and diabetes.ConclusionAccording to this study, the results showed a correlation with SPHP patients and CAD. Patients with HP seropositivity also tend to have multiple coronary artery vessel disease. In addition, our results also confirmed that there is an association between with HP infection and AMI. We hypothesize that the associated maybe secondary to inflammatory reaction associated with HP. Additional studies with larger sample groups are needed to investigate the possible role of this pathogen as a risk factor for heart disease.Abstract ID: 35 Figure 1Twelve percent of CAD patients were found to have seropositive HP (SPHP) versus 1% in the control group (OR: 7.3, 95% CI: 3.5–15, p<0.0001).

Objective This study aimed to investigate whether differential expression of the retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor A ( RORA) gene is related to occurrence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods This was a retrospective study. White blood cells of 93 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 74 patients with stable coronary artery disease were collected. Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting were used to measure RORA mRNA and protein expression, respectively. Results RORA mRNA expression levels in peripheral blood leukocytes in patients with AMI were 1.57 times higher than those in patients with stable coronary artery disease. Protein RORA levels in peripheral blood of patients with AMI were increased. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that high expression of RORA was an independent risk factor for AMI, and it increased the risk of AMI by 2.990 times. Conclusion RORA expression levels in patients with AMI is significantly higher than that in patients with stable coronary artery disease. High expression of RORA is related to AMI and it may be an independent risk factor for AMI.

SummaryRecently, we have demonstrated that human platelet antigen 1b (HPA-1b or PlA2) is a hereditary risk factor for platelet thrombogenicity leading to premature myocardial infarction in preexisting coronary artery disease. However, HPA-1b does not represent a risk factor for coronary artery disease itself. The aim of our present study was to evaluate the role of HPA-1b on the outcome in patients after coronaryartery bypass surgery. We prospectively determined the HPA-1 genotype in 261 consecutive patients prior to saphenous-vein coronaryartery bypass grafting. The patients were followed for one year. Among patients with bypass occlusion, myocardial infarction, or death more than 30 days after surgery, the prevalence of HPA-1b was significantly higher than among patients without postoperative complications (60 percent, 6/10, vs. 24 percent, 58/241, p <0.05, odds ratio 4.7). Using a stepwise logistic regression analysis with the variables HPA1b, age, sex, body mass index, smoking (pack-years), hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol and triglyceride concentration, only HPA-1b had a significant association with bypass occlusion, myocardial infarction, or death after bypass surgery (p = 0.019, odds ratio 4.7). This study shows that HPA-1b is a hereditary risk factor for bypass occlusion, myocardial infarction, or death in patients after coronary-artery bypass surgery.
