“…A large number of cases of myocardial infarction are caused by stenosis of the coronary arteries with >50% narrowing of the lumen (11); biomechanical stresses experienced by non-obstructing atheroma may be greater than those caused by stenoses, which yield a smaller residual lumen (14). Instead, the thrombus usually occurs due to a disruption of atherosclerotic plaque (12,13). Different models of physical plaque disruption are known.…”

“…7 One potential pathway linking tooth loss and vascular disease risk is oral infection-inflammation related to periodontal disease. 6 -18 Periodontal disease, a local chronic bacterial infection in the oral cavity, may contribute to endothelial dysfunction, 12 carotid artery plaque formation, 11,13,15,17 or deterioration of the antiatherogenic potency of HDL.…”

Tooth Loss Is Associated With an Increased Risk of Hypertension in Postmenopausal Women

et al. 2004

Abstract-Tooth loss has been associated with an increased risk of vascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease. Little is known whether hypertension is an important factor linking 2 phenomena in postmenopausal women. We compared an incidence of hypertension and traditional risk factors for vascular diseases between 2 age-matched groups: 67 postmenopausal women with missing teeth and 31 without missing teeth. In addition to blood pressure, serum concentration of total cholesterol, high-and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides, plasma angiotensin-converting enzyme activity, plasma angiotensin II concentration, plasma renin activity, and resting heart rate were measured as traditional risk factors for vascular diseases. Subjects without missing teeth had significantly lower diastolic blood pressure than did subjects with missing teeth (Pϭ0.021). The former tended to have lower systolic blood pressure than did the latter (Pϭ0.058). There were no significant differences in other variables between subjects with and without missing teeth. The odds ratio of having hypertension in subjects with missing teeth was 3.59 (95% confidence interval, 1.10 to 11.7) after adjustment of obesity, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertriglyceridemia. Our results suggest that hypertension may be an important factor linking tooth loss and an increased risk of vascular diseases in postmenopausal women.
