Abstract

Background: Periodontal disease has been associated with chronic heart failure (CHF) and may be an indicator of high risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. To date, only few studies have been done and none from India regarding the association of periodontal disease in heart failure patients. So, this study was done to assess the prevalence of periodontitis in CHF patients and its correlation with N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT- ProBNP).

Materials and method: In this study, 154 patients with stable CHF with left ventricular ejection fraction of less than 40 % were enrolled. All subjects underwent cardiologic and dental evaluations. NT pro-BNP level was measured in all patients. The periodontal screening index was used to quantify the degree of periodontal disease.

Results: Gingivitis, moderate periodontitis, and severe periodontitis were present in 48 (31.2 %), 82 (53.2 %), and 24 (15.5 %) patients, respectively. In individuals under the age of 75 years, the study found a significant association between moderate and severe periodontitis and elevated NT-proBNP levels (p < 0.05). The comparison between gingivitis and moderate/severe periodontitis was statistically significant in post hoc analysis.

Conclusion: CHF patients exhibit a high prevalence of moderate and severe periodontitis. This study highlights a significant association between periodontitis severity and elevated NT-proBNP in CHF patients, underscoring a potential cardiac impact. Further research is warranted to deepen our understanding of this relationship.

期刊介绍： Indian Heart Journal (IHJ) is the official peer-reviewed open access journal of Cardiological Society of India and accepts articles for publication from across the globe. The journal aims to promote high quality research and serve as a platform for dissemination of scientific information in cardiology with particular focus on South Asia. The journal aims to publish cutting edge research in the field of clinical as well as non-clinical cardiology - including cardiovascular medicine and surgery. Some of the topics covered are Heart Failure, Coronary Artery Disease, Hypertension, Interventional Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery, Valvular Heart Disease, Pulmonary Hypertension and Infective Endocarditis. IHJ open access invites original research articles, research briefs, perspective, case reports, case vignette, cardiovascular images, cardiovascular graphics, research letters, correspondence, reader forum, and interesting photographs, for publication. IHJ open access also publishes theme-based special issues and abstracts of papers presented at the annual conference of the Cardiological Society of India.
