Recent evidence associates inflammatory mediators with coronary heart disease. Elevation of acute-phase reaction (APR) proteins such as serum amyloid A, fibrinogen, CRP and haptoglobin in response to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection was shown to initiate gastritis and ischemic heart
Our aim was to detect markers of Chlamydia pneumoniae (CPN) and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection in patients with peripheral vascular occlusive disease and to follow markers of inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and lipid metabolism alteration in patients with active infection. CPN genome
