Background: Various evidences have recently been provided indicating the relationship between infection with Helicobacter pylori and the extra-gastric complication, especially atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the most important predisposing factor for cardiovascular disorders due to the high prevalence of cardiovascular disorders in developing countries (areas where a high population of people are infected with Helicobacter pylori), in particular in Iran.Methods: In a current systematic review and meta-analysis study, we collected all studies of the isolation of Helicobacter pylori from atherosclerotic plaques in Iranian cardiovascular patients to investigate the presence or absence of a relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and susceptibility to atherosclerosis. The present meta-analysis was done by Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software (CMA-Ver. 2.0). This software has the ability to combine studies and impact sizes into the results and is highly acceptable.Results: Overall, the frequency of H. pylori in atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary artery disease (CAD) patients was estimated to be 41.30%. However, the highest and lowest frequency of infection with Helicobacter pylori were 80% and 0%, respectively.Conclusions: However generally, regarding the previous studies, we collected all the Iranian published articles and showed that the infection with Helicobacter pylori was significantly related with the atherosclerosis, but further complementary and more extensive studies are required to confirm this hypothesis.
