Description
Corina Cinezan and colleagues link tooth loss to heart failure after heart attack. Their cross-sectional study from twenty twenty-five bridges mouth and heart health. Both fields share inflammation as a common thread. Whether missing teeth track post-attack heart failure was underexplored.
Two hundred heart attack patients had teeth, heart function, and conditions recorded. Heart failure meant low pumping fraction or a clinical diagnosis. Patients grouped by how many teeth they had lost. Pumping strength fell steadily across the tooth loss groups. Nearly two in five patients met the heart failure definition. Adjusted models tested tooth loss as an independent predictor. Dentists and cardiologists share more ground than practice suggests.
