Periodontitis and diabetes associations with measures of atherosclerosis and CHD
Highlights ► Severe periodontal disease and diabetes is associated with increased prevalence of IMT ≥ 1, acoustic shadowing, and CHD. ► Diabetes alone is associated with increased odds for IMT > 1 mm, but not shadowing or CHD. ► Periodontal disease increases the likelihood of subclinical atherosc...

Summary: | Highlights ► Severe periodontal disease and diabetes is associated with increased prevalence of IMT ≥ 1, acoustic shadowing, and CHD. ► Diabetes alone is associated with increased odds for IMT > 1 mm, but not shadowing or CHD. ► Periodontal disease increases the likelihood of subclinical atherosclerotic heart disease and CHD in diabetic patients. ► There is a need case definitions of periodontal disease that effectively capture systemic effects of sever forms of the disease. ► Further investigation is warranted to understand the interaction of diabetes and periodontal disease as it relates to increased prevalence of IMT, acoustic shadowing, and CHD. |
