Official Title: Prevalence of Chlamydia Pneumoniae and Mycoplasma Pneumoniae in Different Forms of Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease

Brief Summary: To test the association between anti-Chlamydia serum titers and anti-Mycoplasma antibodies with Acute Coronary Syndromes.

Detailed Summary: One hundred and twenty-six patients were divided into 4 groups: Acute Coronary Syndrome with ST-elevation, Non-ST-elevation, stable coronary artery disease, and individuals without coronary disease. Anti-Chlamydia and anti-Mycoplasma IgG antibodies were measured at baseline and after 6 months.
