Sažetak

The aim of this investigation was to determine whether H. pylori infection is an independent risk factor for acutemyocardial
infarction (AMI), determine is there a link between H. pylori infection and severity of disease. In this prospective,
single centre study, were enrolled 100 patients with AMI and control group was consisted 93 healthy individuals. The results
of this study showed no difference between H. pylori seropositivity distribution in the investigate and control group
(29 vs. 26 %) and there was no significant difference on the severity of the disease. There was significant association in
the patients with three and more risk factors, where the patients with lower blood pressure (124.4/77.4 vs. 145.9/87.7
mmHg) and better controled diabetes (HbA1c 6.1 % vs. 6.9 %) had greater risk for AMI if they are H. pylori seropositive.
The largemulticentric trials would be needed to define a precise role of H. pylori infection on the developement of AMI.
