CIRC - "Periodontitis Increases the Risk of a First Myocardial Infarction"

"Periodontitis Increases the Risk of a First Myocardial Infarction"

"Conclusions—In this large case–control study of PD, verified by radiographic bone loss and with a careful consideration of potential confounders, the risk of a first MI was significantly increased in patients with PD even after adjustment for confounding factors. These findings strengthen the possibility of an independent relationship between PD and MI."
