Abstract
Conflicting evidence implicating CMV infection in coronary heart disease (CHD) exists. In this work using serological methods (IgM-CMV by Western blot and IgG-CMV by ELISA) correlation between CMV infection and CHD was not found. On the other hand presence of CMV DNA in atherosclerotic plaques with absence in unchanged vessel indicates possible role of CMV infection in progression of this process.Entities:
