Abstract: Objective To explore the relationship between Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection and the long-term outcome in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. Methods We retrospectively analyzed consecutive 326 patients who were treated with DES implantation from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012. Demographic data were collected and all patients underwent examination of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), homocysteine (HCY) and other biochemical indicators. All the patients were divided into three groups according to the result of 13C urea breath test. Group 1 had 176 patients without Hp infection; Group 2 had 75 patients with Hp infection with eradication therapy; and group 3, 75 patients with Hp infection without eradication therapy. We explored the correlations of Hp infection with major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) and upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) after 5 years of follow-up using survival analysis. Results After 5 years of follow-up, we found that patients with Hp infection without therapy had more MACE and UGIB than the other two groups (P value is 0.009 and 0.000, respectively). Survival analysis showed that Hp infection was a predictor of MACE with a hazard ratio (HR) of 2.441, with 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.354-4.400, P=0.003 and UGIB with HR of 5.257, with 95% CI:2.572-10.745, P<0.001. Conclusion Patients after DES implantation with Hp infection had more MACE and UGIB after 5 years of follow-up. Hp eradication therapy maybe able to lower the rate of MACE and UGIB.
