Chlamydia link to atherosclerosis strengthens day by day
Just like most diseases known to man, I think that there are multiple causes of these diseases. And yet, many times we try to look for one answer to everything, and then treat what we think is the one cause. Then we wonder why the patient is never completely cured.
The link between chlamydia infection and atherosclerosis “strengths day by day,” according to one expert reviewing all the evidence to date at the recent XIth International Symposium on Atherosclerosis in Stockholm, Sweden. Another speaker, presenting preliminary results from work on atherectomy specimens from patients with acute myocardial infarction, suggested that chlamydia may be the “final straw that breaks the camel’s back” when it comes to atherosclerotic plaque rupture.
