Several studies have examined a potential relationship between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease. This article aims to update the evidence for a potential association by summarizing the evidence for causality between periodontitis and comorbidities linked to cardiovascular disease, including hypertension, atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia. We additionally discuss the evidence for periodontal therapy as a means to improved management of these comorbidities, with the larger goal of examining the value of periodontal therapy on reduction of cardiovascular disease risk.
已有多项研究探讨了牙周病与心血管疾病之间的潜在关系。本文旨在通过总结牙周炎与心血管疾病相关的合并症（包括高血压、心房颤动、冠状动脉疾病、糖尿病和高脂血症）之间因果关系的证据，更新潜在关联的证据。我们还讨论了牙周治疗作为改善这些合并症管理的一种手段的证据，其更大的目标是检查牙周治疗降低心血管疾病风险的价值。
