This is Your Heart on Oral Bacteria The researchers examined the periodontal status of 10 patients, then took tissue samples during a cardiac operation. They found that all patients had periodontitis and that most were severe cases. Furthermore, they found DNA from the oral microbes in several areas of the heart, but numbers were significantly higher in the right atrium and corresponded with higher inflammatory markers also found in the atrial tissue. #heartdisease, #periodontaldisease oshnewsnetwork/2014/06/02/heart-oral-bacteria/
