• Abstract:

  Periodontitis may be associated

  with cardiovascular disease, where proteins may be activated against cardiovascular

  heart disease. Periodontal disease developed cardiovascular disease with 1.14 times

  greater than non-presenting. The objective was to evaluate concomitance of bacterial

  or rheumatic endocarditis in hearts of autopsied patients with periodontitis. A total of

  45 patients with autopsies from the Clinical Hospital of the Federal University of the

  Triângulo Mineiro, with periodontitis accentuated to verify association with endocarditis,

  were macroscopic. Of the patients with periodontitis 33 (73.3%) were men and 12

  (26.6%) were women. It was observed that 36 (80%) died of non-cardiopathic cause

  and 9 (20%) of cardiopathic cause, and 9,2 (22,2%) of them had bacterial and

  rheumatic endocarditis, which were 4.4% of the total of patients. The association

  between periodontitis and endocarditis was observed in the patients studied. However,

  the mechanisms that link periodontal disease to cardiovascular diseases are not yet

  fully elucidated. What should not be corrected during an autopsy should be evaluated

  together with an oral cavity, especially by a dental surgeon, with a more accurate data

  change on the motivation for death and the systemic forms. Periodontal disease is an

  important risk factor for systemic and cardiovascular diseases and maintenance of oral

  health for the reduction of risk factors.
