Scientists Discover a Hidden Heart Valve Risk Linked to Gum Disease

Quote: The team concentrated on Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), a bacterium known to play a major role in periodontal disease by causing gum inflammation and the destruction of gum tissue. Previous research has also linked P. gingivalis to widespread inflammation throughout the body and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including artery plaque buildup and coronary artery disease....

"We were surprised by how much P. gingivalis was present in the calcified aortic valves," Li said. "Although it was not one of the most abundant bacteria overall, it showed one of the largest differences between valves with CAVS and valves without CAVS. This unexpected finding led us to investigate its potential role in the development of CAVS."
