左心室重量是一个已确定的心血管疾病独立预测指标,在特发性高血压(essential hypertension)患者当中,牙周病严重程度与左心室重量相关。 意大利degli Studi di Perugia大学的Dr FabioAngeli及其同事进行了一项横断面研究,以调查104名未经治疗的特发性高血压患者的牙周炎与左心室重量的关系。他们通过对研究对象进行超声波心动描记术检查、实验室检查并且依据社区牙周治疗需要指数(the Community periodontal index of treatmentneeds,CPITN)对其牙周状况进行评价。
Left ventricular mass is a well-established independent predictor of cardiovascular disease and the severity of periodontal disease correlates with left ventricular mass in patients with essential hypertension. A cross-sectional study was conducted by Dr Fabio Angeli and colleagues at the University of Degli Studi di Perugia in Italy to investigate the relationship between periodontitis and left ventricular mass in 104 untreated patients with idiopathic hypertension. They evaluated their periodontal status by performing echocardiographic studies, laboratory tests, and the Community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN).
