ABSTRACT
OBJETIVO: Analisar a relação entre a DP e SCA e verificar a associação entre a DP e periodontite em pacientes com SCA. MÉTODOS: Foram incluídos 58 pacientes com diagnóstico de SCA e 57 controles, sem história de doença arterial coronariana (DAC). Variáveis: hipertensão arterial, diabete, dislipidemia, obesidade, história de DAC, tabagismo e polimorfismo genético do gene da interleucina-1beta. RESULTADOS: Fizeram parte do estudo 115 indivíduos. No grupo SCA, 58 pacientes foram avaliados, sendo 32 (55,2 por cento) do sexo masculino e 26 (44,8 por cento) do sexo feminino. No grupo controle, 57 indivíduos, sendo 32 (56,1 por cento) do sexo masculino e 25 (43,9 por cento) do sexo feminino. Verificou-se DP em 26 (44,8 por cento) pacientes com SCA e em 15 (26,6 por cento) pacientes do grupo controle (beta2 = 4,43, p = 0,04). Análise pela regressão logística, para a associação entre DP e SCA, demonstrou RC de 1,8 (IC 95 por cento: 1,0-5,0); p = 0,24. A associação de periodontite com SCA apresentou RC: 4,5 (IC 95 por cento: 1,3-15,6); p = 0,019. CONCLUSÃO: Não observamos associação independente entre a DP e SCA. Houve associação independente entre periodontite e SCA.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between PD and ACS and the association of PD and periodontitis in ACS patients. METHODS: Fifty-eight ACS patients and 57 controls with no history of coronary artery disease (CAD) were included in the study. Variables: arterial hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, history of CAD, cigarette smoking, and interleukin-1beta gene polymorphism. RESULTS: One hundred and fifteen subjects were enrolled in the study. In the ACS group, 58 patients were evaluated, 32 of whom (55.2 percent) were male and 26 (44.8 percent), female. In the control group, 57 subjects were evaluated, 32 (56.1 percent) of whom were male and 25 (43.9 percent), female. Periodontal disease was diagnosed in 26 (44.8 percent) ACS patients and 15 (26.6 percent) control patients (beta2 = 4.43, p = 0.04). In a logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio for association between PD and ACS was 1.8 (95 percent CI: 1.0-5.0); p = 0.24. The odds ratio for association of periodontitis with ACS was 4.5 (95 percent CI: 1.3-15.6); p = 0.019. CONCLUSION: No independent association was found between PD and ACS. There was an independent association between periodontitis and ACS.
