14. PD Pathogens found in coronary plaque
Gaetti-Jardin, Journal of Medical Microbiology 2009
• 44 pt. endarterectomies
• 39 had PD; 36/39 plaques positive for
PD pathogens
• DNA: Pg, Aa, Tf, Pi, Pn
• 2 or more found in 64% of the
plaques
• Suggests: PD pathogens in coronary
plaque is not coincidental, they may
contribute to the development of
coronary plaque
15. PD Pathogens found in carotid atheroma
Figuero, Journal of Periodontology 8/2011
• 42 carotid endarterectomies
analyzing PD paths
• 33/42 Pg+, 28/42 Aa+, 26/42 Tf+,
21/42 Fn+
... ALL had at least one
16. Oral pathogens and acute heart attacks.
Pessi, Circulation 2/2013
• 101 acute heart attack patients
• Obstructing thrombi and arterial
blood analyzed for PD
pathogens
• Bacterial DNA load 16x greater in
thrombi than arterial blood
• Oral viridans streptococci (Ex.
Strep mutans) found in 78% of
thrombi
• PD pathogens found in 35% of
thrombi
17. •30 patients had panoramic CT
•50% showed periapical abscess
•If pt’s thrombus was +
for strep viridans DNA: they were
13 times more likely to have a
periapical abscess

•Bacteria-like structures in all 9
Oral pathogens and acute heart attacks.

19. Conclusions:
Dental infection and oral bacteria are
associated with the development of
acute coronary thrombosis--heart attack!
Dental health and dental care should
be one major element in preventing
heart attacks!
