A team of researchers led by the University of Granada (UGR) has shown that men who have both periodontitis and erectile dysfunction are almost four times at greater risk of experiencing a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE).
It appears that erectile dysfunction in those men struggling with periodontitis should be considered a warning sign of potentially greater significant (cardiovascular) conditions and events in the near future. This includes a higher risk of the following conditions:
- Cerebral infarction
- Non-fatal myocardial infarction
- Cardiovascular death
- Heart failure
- Acute coronary syndrome (stable and unstable angina)
- Coronary artery bypass grafting
- Percutaneous coronary intervention
