inflammatory responses that play a pivotal part in neointima formation, which is the main …

Chlamydia pneumoniae, a common cause of respiratory infection, is vasotropic and
frequently found in human atheromas. Whether it plays a causal role in coronary artery …

Background—Chlamydia pneumoniae commonly causes respiratory infection, is vasotropic,
causes atherosclerosis in animal models, and has been found in human atheromas …

The role of Chlamydia pneumoniae infection in precipitating acute coronary syndrome
