    Abstract:

    Atherosclerosis (As) is one of the main causes of death in the global population. The main causes are hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, etc. However, after avoiding traditional risks, As may still progress. In recent years, the role of microbial infection factors in As has been increasingly valued. This article reviews the correlation between infection and As, and focuses on introducing the research progress on the mechanisms by which microbial infections such as Helicobacter pylori, Chlamydia pneumoniae, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and cytomegalovirus promote the development of As, aiming to discover the correlation between microbial infections and As and provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of As.
