Abstract

Introduction: The main pathogenic mechanism underlying the genesis and development of diseases of the circulatory system is atherosclerosis. It is a complex and progressive pathological process of the arterial wall that affects especially the coronary, cerebral and peripheral arteries. Currently, there is talk about "The infectious hypothesis of atherosclerosis". Helicobacter pylori infection has been one of the most researched worldwide. Objective: To identify H. pylori from atherosclerotic lesions of patients who attend the cardiovascular and angiology services of the city of Barranquilla. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out. In a sample of 102 participants. The atheromas were taken by expert personnel in endarterectomy and dissection of blood vessels. The specimens were embedded in 4% formaldehyde solution. DNA extraction was performed from atheromas. The molecular diagnosis of H. pylori was performed by ANIDADA PCR, evidencing a 120 bp fragment after electrophoresis in a 3.5% agarose gel in 0.5X TBE. Results: 102 samples of atheromas were obtained. One sample was positive for H. pylori (Sample # 14, 1/102). The atherosclerotic tissue was obtained from the right coronary artery. Conclusion: The infectious hypothesis of atherosclerosis has been one of the main research topics worldwide in recent decades. H. pylori infection is a risk factor, however, several studies are necessary to be able to conclude more accurately.
