| dc.description | Heart Disease Chronic IHD, also called ischemic cardiomyopathy, is essentially progressive heart failure as a consequence of ischemic myocardial damage. In most instances there is a history of MI, Chronic IHD usually results from postin- farction cardiac decompensation that follows exhaustion of the hypertrophy of the viable myocardium. In other cases severe obstructive CAD may be present without prior infarction, but with diffuse myocardial dysfunction. Morphology Hearts from patients with chronic IHD are usually enlarged and heavy from left ventricular dilation and hypertrophy.. ( 1 ) Coronary artery disease, also called coronary or atherosclerotic heart disease, is a serious condition caused by a buildup of plaque in your coronary arteries, the blood vessels that bring oxygen-rich blood to your heart The arteries are smooth and elastic But when plaque builds up on their inner walls, it can make them become stiff and narrow This slows blood flow to your heart muscle, so it doesn’t get the oxygen it need The plaque could break off, leading to a heart attack or sudden cardiac death Periodontal disease is a complex chronic inflammatory disease, resulting in a loss of connective tissue and bone support of the teeth It is a major cause of tooth loss in adults aged over 40, and, according to the World HealthOrganizationaffects people worldwide at prevalence rates of up to 10-20% for the most severe forms Periodontal disease is highly prevalent, especially in late middle age when coronary artery disease is also most common, and it is caused mostly by poor oral hygiene.(3) | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | In most countries, Atherosclerosis is an important component of coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and death coronary heart disease is a serious condition caused by a buildup of plaque in your coronary arteriesThis report reviews the current evidence indicating that oral conditions (specifically periodontitis) may be a risk factor for atherosclerosis and its clinical manifestations Because atherosclerotic processes are typified by chronic inflammatory responses, which are similar to those elicited by chronic infection, the role of infection in promoting or accelerating atherosclerosis has received considerable focus. Increasing evidence supports the notion that periodontitis is associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis through dysfunction of endothelial cells induced by either periodontopathic bacteria or their products, or inflammatory mediators derived from infected periodontal tissue This review is done in the context of the research indicating that inflammation plays a central role in pathogeneses and that there is a substantial systemic microbial and inflammatory burden associated with periodontal disease. | en_US |
