Description
Alícia Eliege da Silva and co-authors review evidence from two thousand twenty-six on gum disease and heart failure. Gum disease is a long-term inflammation of the tissues around the teeth. Heart failure is also marked by inflammation, and it burdens health systems worldwide. The review asks how strongly the two conditions are linked.
Studies find gum disease is common in heart failure patients. It also tracks with higher levels of heart strain markers and body-wide inflammation signals. Some treatment studies report those markers fall after gum care, which hints at a biological link. But results vary, and most evidence comes from observational work with small samples. The authors call for long-term trials to test whether the link is causal.
