摘要:
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory process accounting for increased cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality. A wealth of recent data has implicated several infectious agents, mainly Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Helicobacter pylori, CMV and periodontal pathogens, in atherosclerosis. Thus, we sought to comprehensively review the available data on the topic, exploring in particular the pathogenetic mechanisms, and discuss anticipated future directions.
