Potential association between bacterial infections and ischemic stroke based on fifty case-control studies: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: In this meta-analysis, a significant relationship was observed between infection by three bacteria such as C. pneumoniae, H. pylori, and M. tuberculosis with the occurrence of ischemic stroke. Furthermore, due to the similarity between TLRVYK domain in β2-glycoprotein-I and TLRVYK peptide in various of microorganisms, produced antibodies against pathogens interact with β2-glycoprotein-I, hence the cross-reaction phenomenon increases the positive relationship between infectious diseases and ischemic stroke.PMID:35592534 | PMC:PMC9112101 | DOI:10.1016/j.nmni.2022.100980

The combination of Helicobacter pylori- and cytotoxin-associated gene-A seropositivity in relation to the risk of myocardial infarction in middle-aged Japanese: The Japan Public Health Center-based study
Conclusions: H. pylori infection was not significantly associated with risk of MI and stroke among middle-aged Japanese. However, CagA positivity tended to be associated with MI.Highlights:

Helicobacter Pylori Infection and Risk of Death From Cardiovascular Disease Among the Japanese Population: a Nested Case-Control Study within the JACC Study.
CONCLUSION: The results of this nested case-control study suggest that there is no association between H. pylori infection and CHD and stroke mortality risk in otherwise healthy, elderly Japanese individuals. PMID: 26084791 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Role of Helicobacter pylori infection in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
Abstract Though a century old hypothesis, infection as a cause for atherosclerosis is still a debatable issue. Epidemiological and clinical studies had shown a possible association but inhomogeneity in the study population and study methods along with potential confounders have yielded conflicting results. Infection triggers a chronic inflammatory state which along with other mechanisms such as dyslipidemia, hyper-homocysteinemia, hypercoagulability, impaired glucose metabolism and endothelial dysfunction, contribute in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Studies have shown a positive relations between Cytotoxic asso...
