While Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is not typically fatal, it can lead to serious gastrointestinal conditions, such as peptic ulcers and gastric cancer, if left untreated. Most people with H. pylori do not experience severe symptoms and can be effectively treated with antibiotics and acid-reducing medications. However, in rare cases, complications from these conditions can lead to life-threatening situations. It is important to seek medical attention if symptoms such as severe abdominal pain or gastrointestinal bleeding occur.

Can H. pylori cause heart problems?

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.
