Abstract
The evidence to date concerning the association between Helicobacter pylori infection and coronary heart disease is consistent with a modest increased risk. Research is currently being undertaken into factors which may modify this association. Probably, there is sufficient evidence given the ease of the proposed intervention to make it worthwhile to undertake a trial of er adication therapy.
