Best Answer

H. pylori has been linked to irregular heartbeat, which can result in pooling of blood in the heart chambers. This increases the risk of clots that may cause strokes. Heart failure can occur if irregular heartbeats continue.

Few isolated studies done recently suggest that H pylori is associated with increased incidence of stroke. Another study suggests that eradication of H pylori was associated with favorable lipid profile. But eradication of H pylori has very distinct advantages when it comes to peptic ulcer and as such demands eradication of H pylori.
