Long-term Effect of Helicobacter pylori Eradication on Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease – Is there a Connection?

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.
