ASSOCIATION OF PERIODONTAL DISEASES WITH ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME

Аннотация

In this review, based on numerous randomized and single-blind studies, the association of inflammatory periodontal diseases with coronary heart disease, in particular with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), was revealed. In particular, the role of pro-inflammatory cytokines - C-reactive protein, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-a in maintaining the inflammatory process in periodontitis and progression of coronary artery disease is shown. The research is noteworthy and needs to be studied more closely.
