Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, significantly contributing to mortality in both developed and developing nations. CAD arises from a combination of risk factors, including atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, and smoking. In recent years, growing evidence has suggested a potential link between infectious agents and cardiovascular diseases. Among these, () infection has been hypothesized for over a decade to play a role in the pathogenesis of CAD. This hypothesis is based on the bacterium's ability to trigger host inflammatory or autoimmune responses, potentially contributing to the progression of atherosclerotic plaques and coronary events. The association between infection and CAD is of considerable interest as it opens new avenues for prevention and management strategies in cardiovascular health. Understanding this relationship could lead to innovative approaches to reducing the burden of CAD, particularly in populations with a high prevalence of . In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the most recent evidence on the involvement of in the development and prognosis of CAD. By analyzing and synthesizing current findings, we seek to shed light on unresolved questions and clarify the ambiguous aspects of this potential connection. Our goal is to contribute to a deeper understanding of how , may influence cardiovascular disease and to inspire further research in this critical area.
