Host genetic factors of interleukin (IL)-1 polymorphisms influence Helicobacter pylori infection pathogenic activity. We examined whether H. pylori-infected patients with IL-1 polymorphisms are associated with myocardial infarction (MI).We recruited 594 consecutive coronary artery disease patients and excluded those who met exclusion criteria. After matching age and sex, 82 cases with MI and 82 controls...
