Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if treating periodontal infections gum problems will lead to fewer heart problems in patients at high risk for cardiovascular disease
Detailed Description: There is growing evidence of a strong association between infection and atherosclerosis as well as a specific link between periodontal infection gum problems and heart disease Previous studies have established possible effective treatments of periodontal disease These treatments may lead to fewer heart events in persons at high risk for cardiovascular disease In contrast to previous heart disease studies the primary treatment in this project is directed toward infectious agents at periodontal sites This project is a pilot randomized clinical trial to test the feasibility of selecting and refining a periodontal infection treatment and examining the effect of that treatment on future heart events It is a multi-center planning and pilot study involving five investigational centers at the University at Buffalo lead and overall coordinating center University of North Carolina Boston University Kaiser PermanenteOregon Health Science University University of Maryland and a data coordinating center at the University of North Carolina Central microbiology and cytokine laboratories and a biologic specimen bank are also included A team of cardiologists periodontists epidemiologists infectious disease specialists biostatisticians research nurses in periodontics and cardiology and data managers has been assembled to accomplish the research with a careful cost-effective approach The ultimate goal is to develop a definitive randomized clinical trial that will include about 4000 participants from approximately 15 centers across the United States
