Gingival and periodontal diseases are associated with specific bacterial infections. The main aim of the study was to know whether the periodontitis is associated with an increased risk for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to know the distribution of Porphyromonas gingivalis in patients with acute myocardial infarction associated with chronic periodontitis and acute myocardial infarction Groups.
Out of 50 patients, 20 were diagnosed as acute myocardial infarction associated with chronic periodontitis (Group I), twenty patients were suffering from AMI (Group II) and 10 patients were healthy (control Group III).
Periodontal pathogens were identified by phenotypic, enzymatic and hybridization methods. The total bacterial load and the number of Porphyromonas gingivalis pathogens were more in Group I when compared to Group II and Group III. Thus, the present study confirmed an association between periodontitis and AMI.
牙龈疾病和牙周疾病与特定的细菌感染有关。本研究的主要目的是了解牙周炎是否与急性心肌梗死(AMI)风险增加有关,以及了解牙龈卟啉单胞菌在伴有慢性牙周炎的急性心肌梗死患者和急性心肌梗死组患者中的分布情况。
50名患者中,20名被诊断为伴有慢性牙周炎的急性心肌梗死(第一组),20名患有急性心肌梗死(第二组),10名健康(第三组,对照组)。
通过表型、酶学和杂交方法鉴定牙周病原体。与第二组和第三组相比,第一组的总细菌载量和牙龈卟啉单胞菌病原体数量更多。因此,本研究证实了牙周炎与急性心肌梗死之间存在关联。
