Summary
Objectives: The outcomes of heart transplantation are very favorable but inflammation still plays a critical role in deterioration of chronic transplants. Periodontal diseases are not only limited to supporting structures of the teeth, they also cause systemic inflammation. Based on the importance of inflammation in heart transplant recipients and the association between periodontal disease and systemic inflammation, this study explored whether periodontitis may be a modifier of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HsCRP) in heart transplant patients.
