Abstract:
Objective To study the changes in serum homocysteine (Hcy) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) levels and risk factors in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) complicated with Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection in Chengdu area, and to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention of HP infection in patients with coronary heart disease. Methods A total of 348 CHD patients admitted to our hospital in Chengdu from 2019 to 2021 were selected. Hp infection status was detected by C14 urea breath test. Patients were classified into control group (n=197) and HP infection group (n=151) according to the detection results. Data including gender, age, body mass index and peptic ulcer history were collected, and univariate analysis and logistic regression were used to screen the risk factors affecting the occurrence of HP infection in patients with CHD. Results The prevalence rate of HP infection was 43.39% (151/348) among the selected CHD patients. Serum levels of Hcy and MMP-9 were notably elevated in HP infection group compared with control group (P<0.05). The proportion of patients with age ≥60 years old, hyperlipidemia, proton pump inhibitor use history, and frequent consumption of out-of-home food and spicy food in HP infection group was obviously larger than that in control group (P<0.05). Hyperlipidemia (OR=3.719), history of proton pump inhibitor use (OR=3.254) and frequent consumption of out-of-home food (OR=2.721) were independent risk factors for HP infection in CHD patients (P<0.05). Conclusion CHD patients in Chengdu suffer a prevalence rate of HP infection, and have elevated levels of serum Hcy and MMP-9. Furthermore, the intervention measures for patients with hyperlipidemia, proton pump inhibitor drug use history and frequent consumption of out-of-home food are of vital importance for decreasing the risk of HP infection.
