Impact of Helicobacter pylori-Related Metabolic Syndrome Parameters on Arterial Hypertension.

ABSTRACT: Arterial hypertension is a risk factor for several pathologies, mainly including cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, which rank as leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide.

Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the most common types of chronic infection globally and displays a plethora of both gastric and extragastric effects.
