NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Jul 08 –
Infection with more virulent strains of Helicobacter pylori is more common among patients with atherosclerotic stroke than among patients with other types of strokes or healthy subjects, according to a report published in the July 9th rapid access issue of Circulation, to be published in the July 30th print issue.
Previous reports have linked these H. pylori types, known as cytotoxin-associated gene-A (CagA)-positive strains, with coronary artery disease. The prevalence of such strains in patients with ischemic stroke, however, has not been addressed.
