Key Points

The research aims to examine the long-term effects of H. pylori eradication on cardiovascular disease risk factors.
Focused on lipid metabolism changes post H. pylori eradication.
Measured TMAO levels before and after treatment.
Monitored systemic inflammation markers.
Eradication of H. pylori showed favorable changes in lipid metabolism.
TMAO levels experienced a marginal decrease post-eradication.
Suggests H. pylori may increase cardiovascular disease risk through lipoprotein modulation.

Abstract

Successful eradication of H. pylori infection was associated with favorable changes in lipid metabolism and marginal decrease in TMAO levels. These findings suggest that H. pylori may contribute to CVD risk by modulating lipoprotein profiles and systemic inflammation.
