Heart Disease Risk Increases By Gum Disease Severity
Feb
Periodontitis is associated with a higher risk for cardiovascular disease, and the risk increases for those with more severe gum disease, according to research being presented this week at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) virtual meeting.
In a long-term follow-up of a previous study that found periodontitis to be significantly more common in first-time heart attack patients compared with healthy peers, researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm reported that patients with periodontitis had a higher risk of a cardiovascular event over time. This elevated risk, which increased in parallel with periodontitis severity, was particularly apparent in patients who had already experienced a heart attack.
“Our study suggests that dental screening programmes including regular check-ups and education on proper dental hygiene may help to prevent first and subsequent heart events,” said lead author Dr. Giulia Ferrannini in a statement.
The study included 1,587 participants with an average age of 62. Of these, 985 were classified as healthy on a dental examination between 2010 and 2014, while 489 had moderate periodontitis and 113 had severe periodontitis.
The researchers then followed up all participants for the occurrence of cardiovascular events and death, collecting follow-up data from Swedish national death and patient registries until the end of 2018. Over the average follow-up of 6.2 years, there were 205 primary end-point events — all-cause death, nonfatal heart attack or stroke, or severe heart failure.
Those participants with periodontitis at baseline had 49% higher odds of the primary end point compared to those with healthy gums, according to the researchers. What’s more, the probability rose with the increasing severity of gum disease.
The researchers postulated that the damage of periodontal tissues in people with gum disease may facilitate the transfer of germs into the bloodstream.
“This could accelerate harmful changes to the blood vessels and/or enhance systemic inflammation that is harmful to the vessels,” Ferrannini said.

63の島からなり、最大の島はシンガポール島（東西42km、南北23km）である。 また、第二次世界大戦で交戦国イギリスの領土であったシンガポールを占領した日本は、1942年2月に「昭南島」と改称した（しょうなんとう、昭和に手に入れた南の島の意味）。 1511年 マラッカがポルトガルに占領され、マラッカ王国が滅亡。 マラッカ王国の王はマレー半島のジョホールに移動、ジョホール王国建国。反面、常に冷静さを保つことができず、仲間がやられたり勝負事になるとすぐ熱く感情的になってしまう欠点を持つ。 シンガポールには山と呼べる高さの山はないため、川の流れは非常に緩やかで、人々が川で蟹や魚を獲る光景を見かけることもあるが、流れが緩やかなこともあり、水質は濁流であまり良くない。
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
