Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlations between chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn) infection and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods Specific Cpn antibodies and the DNA were measured in 51 patients with AMI (AMI group), 42 patients with old myocardial infarction (OMI group) and 31 normal controls (NC group) who had no angiographic evidence of coronary artery diseases. Moreover, the changes of and relationships between fibrinogen (Fg), hemorheological parameters and Cpn infection were determined in the three groups. Results The positive rates and levels of Cpn IgG and Cpn IgM in the AMI group were higher than those in the NC group (P
