HPV infection linked to heart disease in women

eNewsletters Online - email newsletters made easy - www.enewslettersonline.com: A recent study has shown a strong association between HPV and heart disease in women. The likelihood of having cardiovascular disease in the presence of a positive HPV DNA was twice that of HPV DNA negative women, even after controlling for other factors such as blood pressure, medical conditions, health/sex behaviors, cardiovascular risk burden and management. In fact the likelihood of having a cardiovascular disease when positive for the cancer causing HPV types was close to three times that seen in HPV negative women.
