What is the heart attack germ?

[tara]

Over the past several years, numerous scientific studies have shown that people infected by a several common germs are at a significantly increased risk for stroke, heart attack and other cardiovascular problems, including the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.

Most strokes and heart attacks are associated with atherosclerosis, the disease that deposits cholesterol plaque inside the arteries of the heart and brain. Until recently, the cause of atherosclerosis was a mystery. But new advances in technology have identified inflammation within the artery as the source of plaque build-up. Often, this inflammation is caused by germs that infect the arteries of the heart and brain.

Although several cardiovascular germs have been identified, most of the research has centered on the Heart Attack Germ, Chlamydia pneumoniae—a type of bacteria that is the chief suspect behind many strokes and heart attacks.
