Acute coronary syndromes are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The mechanisms underlying the triggering of these events are diverse and include increased coronary and systemic inflammatory activity dominant prothrombotic conditions, increased biomechanical stress on coronary arteries, variations in the coronary arterial tone, disturbed haemodynamic homoeostasis, and altered myocardial metabolic balance. There is experimental evidence that acute infections can promote the development of acute coronary syndromes, and clinical data strongly support a role for acute infections in triggering these events. In our Review, we summarise the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease and present the evidence linking acute infections with the development of acute coronary syndromes. Greater awareness of this association is likely to encourage research into ways of protecting patients who are at high risk.
