Clinical Report: Periodontal Disease and ASCVD: Updated
Overview
Revise to state that while a causal relationship remains unproven, the evidence suggests a potential link between periodontal disease and chronic inflammation related to cardiovascular health.
Background
ASCVD is the leading cause of death globally, accounting for approximately 30% of U.S. deaths. Periodontal disease, affecting 42% of U.S. adults aged 30 and older, is a chronic inflammatory condition that may share risk factors with ASCVD. Understanding the relationship between these two conditions is crucial for improving patient outcomes and addressing health disparities.
