Study Summary

The prevalence of cardiovascular disease is rising; new methods must be created to assess the cardiovascular status of patients. If cardiovascular disease can be predicted, it may facilitate prevention. An association between periodontal disease and cardiovascular has been established, but a definitive mechanism is not understood. A good first step in finding that mechanism is to look at the correlation between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease, both of which have an inflammatory component. This study observes the level of cardiovascular disease in patients and correlates it with the presence and degree of periodontal pathogens.
