Introduction
Research has been performed in Finland on a certain strain of Chlamydia, C. pneumoniae, to determine if there is a correlation between the strain of Chlamydia, heart disease, atherosclerosis, and heart attacks within a certain genre of subjects. Although a causative reason has not been discovered for lesions of atherosclerosis, C. pneumoniae has been found within young adults with atherosclerosis (plaque buildup) in coronary lesions.
Materials & Methods
The first (TWAR) strain of Chlamydia was first discovered and isolated in a respiratory infection and was later declared the third species of Chlamydia, named C. pneumoniae. (Benditt, 1997). A left anterior coronary artery sample was obtained from 49 subjects ranging from 15 to 34 years of age. The tissues studied came from the multicenter research program entitled the Pathobiological Determinants of Aterosclerosis in Youth (PDAY). For this study, pathologic specimens and risk factor data were obtained from nearly three hundred thousand individuals fifteen to thirty-four years of age. The protocol for the study called for sixty specimens from white mailes, fifty percent from people with some atherosclerosis present in routine PDAY studies, and the other fifty percent from persons with no atherosclerotic lesions. Half of each group were to be in the age range of fifteen to twenty four years of age and twenty five to thirty four years of age. A total of forty nine specimens were available for this study, and due to an absence of some samples, the age group of fifteen to twenty four year olds were somewhat underrepresented. The samples were trimmed and paraggin embedded. Four-micrometer sections were mounted and stained for microscopic study with hematoxylin/eosin and with monoclonal antibodies. Slides of these samples were made and counter stained with methyl green. The use of ICC and PCR techniques were incorporated in attempting to find the present of C. Pneumoniae...
