ABSTRACT: Background
Periodontal disease (PD), resulting from inflammatory host response to dysbiotic subgingival microbiota, has been linked to cardiovascular disease; however, its relationship to heart failure (HF) and its subtypes (heart failure with reduced ejection fraction [HFrEF] and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [HFpEF]) is unexplored.Objectives
The authors hypothesize that the presence of PD is associated with increased risk of incident HF, HFpEF, and HFrEF.Methods
A total of 6,707 participants (mean age 63 ± 6 years) of the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities) study with full-mouth periodontal examination at visit 4 (1996-1998) and longitudinal follow-up for any incident HF (visit 4 to 2018), or incident HFpEF and HFrEF (2005-2018) were included. Periodontal status was classified as follows: healthy, PD (as per Periodontal Profile Classification [PPC]), or edentulous. Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate HRs and 95% CIs for the association between PPC levels and incident HF, HFpEF, or HFrEF. Additionally, biomarkers of inflammation (C-reactive protein [CRP]) and congestion (N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide [NT-proBNP]) were assessed.Results
In total, 1,178 incident HF cases occurred (350 HFpEF, 319 HFrEF, and 509 HF of unknown type) over a median of 13 years. Of these cases, 59% had PD, whereas 18% were edentulous. PD was associated with an increased risk for HFpEF (HR: 1.35 [95% CI: 0.98-1.86]) and significantly increased risk for HFrEF (HR: 1.69 [95% CI: 1.18-2.43]), as was edentulism: HFpEF (HR: 2.00 [95% CI: 1.37-2.93]), HFrEF (HR: 2.19 [95% CI: 1.43-3.36]). Edentulism was associated with unfavorable change in CRP and NT-proBNP, whereas PD was associated only with CRP.Conclusions
Periodontal status was associated with incident HF, HFpEF, and HFrEF, as well as unfavorable changes in CRP and NT-proBNP.
