Brief description/objective

There is cross-sectional evidence that CagA antigen produced by Helicobacter pylori is associated with coronary heart disease, stroke, atrial fibrillation (AF) and microalbuminuria, but no large-scale longitudinal studies have been conducted in diabetic patients. We aimed to determine whether cytotoxin-associated gene-A (CagA) seropositivity is independently associated with important vascular outcomes in type 2 diabetes.
