Abstract:

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease has become the leading killer of human beings. Excluding the traditional risk factors, such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, age and family hereditary disease history, risk factors associated with atherosclerosis is also the focus of studies. In recent years, numerous studies have shown that Chlamydia pneumoniae has played a key role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Many studies about Chlamydia pneumoniae infection and atherosclerosis were reported. Scholars have already confirmed the relevance between Chlamydia pneumoniae and atherosclerosis in the following aspects:clinical test, animal experiments and cells at the molecular level.

摘要：

动脉粥样硬化性心脑血管疾病已经成为危害人类健康的头号杀手。与动脉粥样硬化相关的危险因素也成为研究的焦点，除高脂血症﹑、高血压、糖尿病、吸烟、年龄、家族遗传病史等动脉粥样硬化的传统危险因素外，近年来有越来越多的研究显示肺炎衣原体对动脉粥样硬化的发生和发展起到了至关重要的作用。众多关于肺炎衣原体感染与动脉粥样硬化的研究被报道。学者们从临床检测、动物实验、细胞分子水平等方面来证实肺炎衣原体与动脉粥样硬化的相关性。
