Dentists Can Identify Those At Risk for Heart Disease

Dentists can play a potentially life-saving role in health care by identifying patients at risk of fatal heart attacks and referring them to physicians for further evaluation, according a new study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association. The study followed 200 patients in private dental practices in Sweden whose dentists used a computerized system, "HeartScore," to calculate the risk of a patient dying from a cardiovascular event within a 10-year period.

Low-Carb Diets Linked to Plaque Buildup

Though low-carb/high-protein diets have been proven to be successful for weight loss, there have been few studies examining the diets' long-term vascular effects. Now, a study from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center provides new data on the subject, demonstrating that mice placed on a 12-week low carb/high protein diet showed a significant increase in atherosclerosis 9 a buildup of plaque in the heart's arteries and the chief cause of heart attacks and stroke. They also found that the diet led to impaired abililty to form new blood vessels in tissues deprived of blood flow.

Expert Commentary: Robert Kritzler MD 11/06/09

Diabetes mellitus affects close to 21 million Americans, both children and adults, representing over 7 percent of the US population (source: American Diabetes Association 2009). Unfortunately, close to one-third of these individuals are unaware that they have the disease. They may be in a pre-diabetic phase or, if actually diabetic, do not have symptoms. Awareness among that one-third is as important as compliance, since lifestyle modification can largely prevent the onset of the disease. Within the other two- thirds, many are not getting the treatment they need.

More Evidence That Fish Oil Aids Heart Health

Dental Cleaning May Alleviate Heart Disease Risk

In patients with mild to moderate gum disease, a trip to the dentist for tartar removal and overall cleaning has the benefit of actually reducing inflammation of the endothelium (lining) of the arteries, thus lowering the risk for heart disease, a small recent study showed.


“It involved removal of tartar and cleaning the gums, and that’s it – no surgery and no antibiotics – just your basic dental hygiene,” said senior study author Mario Clerici, a professor at the University of Milan, in Italy. He said the researchers are performing an experiment to confirm their results.

6 Factors in Accurate Blood Pressure Readings

Such a simple - and vitally important - item as a blood pressure reading can be considerably inaccurate unless six simple factors are taken into account. Getting an accurate reading is important because a false high reading can cause unnecessary medication, anxiety and disruption in a patient's life, and a false low reading can delay health-saving and even life-saving interventions.

Is Coffee Good or Bad?

So here is another story proclaiming the benefits of coffee. The International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism reports that a cup coffee before high intensity exercise reduces muscle pain thus helping the avid muscle grower work harder.


Well, when I look at my more modest physique in the mirror, I remember being told as a kid that drinking coffee would stunt your growth and should only be drunk as an adult. Only once you had reached full height could you sip this dangerous brew.
