Özet

Background/Aims Patients with autoimmune gastritis might have accelerated atherosclerosis due to autoimmunity and chronic inflammation. Endothelial dysfunction often precedes manifest atherosclerosis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the risk factors of early atherosclerosis by using several different techniques.
