Core Tip This prospective observational study shows that persistent Helicobacter pylori infection markedly increases the risk of peptic ulcer bleeding and cardiovascular (CV) disease progression in long-term low-dose aspirin users. Successful eradication lowered ulcer bleeding rates from 11.9% to 3.7% - an approximately 69% relative risk reduction- and was associated with significantly fewer CV events. These findings support routine Helicobacter pylori screening and eradication as a practical strategy to improve both gastrointestinal safety and CV outcomes in high-risk aspirin users.
