Prompt recognition of the development of
heartdiseaseislimitedbytwokeyfactors:
1) Firstly,itisoftenlatent.
2) Secondly, the diversity of
symptomsattributable to heart disease
is limited.
DEFINITION:-
Abnormalawarenessofbreathingwithdiscomfort.
Dyspnoea is a significant manifestation of
cardiacfailure.
Dyspnoeaismorecommonlyduetoleft-sided
cardiacfailurethanduetorightheartfailure.
17
SEVERITY (GRADING)
:FUNCTIONALGRADINGOFDYSPNOEA
GRADE I : No limitationn of any physial activity but
dyspnoea occurs on more than ordinary (unoccustomed)
exertion.
GRADE II: Dyspnoea on ordinary daily activity
GRADEIII:Dyspnoeaonlessthanordinarydaily
activities.
GRADEIV:Limitationsofallactivities(dyspnoeaatrest)
18
Mechanismunderlyingdyspnoea:
During Heart Failure Interstitial pulmonary
edema stimulates the J receptors reflex
rapidandshallowbreathing.
Respiratorymusclefatigue
Bronchialmucosaledema
Increasedbronchialmucosalproduction
19
ParoxysmalNocturnalDyspnoea(PND)
Thisisanattackofsevereshortnessofbreathand
coughing usually occurring at night.
Awakeningthepatientfromsleep.
Persistaftersittingupright.
May be due to depression of the respiratory centre at
night.
Reduced adrenergic stimulation to the myocardium
at night.
20
Indicates the presence of severe left heart failure (pulmonary
oedema).
Manifestslater than PND.(in slowlyprogressiveleftheart disease).
21
Dyspnoeaoccursonsitting(upright)ratherthanon
lying down position.
Example:leftatrialmyxoma,leftatrialballvalve
thrombus.
22
Occurs on breathlessness only when lying
downin lateral/decubitus position.
May be due to ventilation perfusion relationship
alteration in certain body position.
Occur in patients with pathology of one
lungand chronic congestive heart failure.
23
There is severe periods characterised by alternating
hypopnoea and hyperpnoea follwed by periods of
apnoea sign ofsevere heart failure.
The patient lies motionless for 10-20 seconds and
again the cycle is repeated.
Conditions associated : HF, Increased intracranial
pressure,Uraemia,Severepneumonia,Chronic
hypoxia,Narcoticdrugpoisoning,Cerebraltrauma
and haemorrhage, Normal subjects livingathigh
altitudes.
24
25
Bluishdicolorationofskinandmucousmembrane.
Resulting from increased amount of reduced
haemoglobin.
Cyanosis appearing in infancy indicates the presence
ofcongenital cardiac anomalies with right to left
shunt(teratology of fallot).
Cyanosisbeginningtoappearafter6weeksofagemaybe an
indication of VSD with slowly progressive right
ventricuaroutflowobstruction.
Historyofcyanosisinasuspectedpatientofcongenital

pressureinthelowerlimbveins.Thisresults
inthetransudationoffluidcausingedema.
Ankle edema is more common in
ambulatorypatients. Bed-ridden patient
develop sacral edema.
28
29
This is due to enlarged and congested liver and
stretchingof its capsule, as in congestive heart failure.
Cardiac pain may occasionally present as upper
abdominal pain.
Pain from a dissecting abdominal aortic aneurysm isusually
most marked in the back and may originate in thechest
and spread down the legs. Other arteries can have
aneurysms and bleed.
Inthe presence ofcardiac failure due todecreased cardiac
output, renal blood flow decreases with decrease in the
glomerular fitration rate, this causes decrease of urine
output in patientswithcardiac failure.
PALLOR
Severe anemiamaybe associatedwith:
1. ChronicCCF
2. Infectiveendocarditis
Severe anemia can itself cause- cardiac failure or
aggravate the underlying heart disease.
Patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease may
have polycythemia with suffused conjunctiva.

Most of the sufferers (85 %) are asymptomatic and
hence early diagnosis is a problem.
Normal or optimal blood pressure (BP) is defined
asthelevelabovewhichminimalvasculardamage occurs.
There is a continuous, consistent, and independent
relationship between elevated BP and risk of
cardiovascular events.
61
Definition
• Hypertensionisusuallydefinedbythepresenceofachronic
elevation of systemic arterial pressure above a certain threshold
value.*
• AccordingtoDavidson:
• “For individuals 40-70 years of age, each increment of
20mmHginsystolicBPor10mmHgindiastolicBPdoublesth
e riskof CVD across the entire BP rangefrom 115/75 to
185/115 mmHg”. [JNC VII. JAMA 2003;289:2560-2572 ]
ClassificationaccordingtoWHO
• GradeI:Hypertensionwithoutdamagestotheend
organ.
• Grade II: Hypertension with damages to the
endorgan(e.g..fundushypertonicus(GradeIandII),p

ORALMANIFESTATIONOF
HYPERTENSION
There are no recognized manifestations of
hypertension but anti-hypertensive drugs can often
cause side affects ,such as:
• Xerostomia,
• Gingivalovergrowth,
• Salivaryglandswellingorpain,
• Lichenoiddrugreactions,
• Erythemamultiforme,
• Tastesensealteration,
• Paresthesia.
79
CONCLUSION
• HYPERTENSION has no cure, but it can be
controlled with proper diet, lifestyle changes,
andifnecessarymedications.
• Get regular health check ups. Think about
theconsequencesofuntreatedhighbloodpressure
.
• Do not take chances with the disease that can be
controlled.
• Lastly,Hypertensionisasilentdisease,butits

102
AnticoagulationTherapy&DentalCare
• Anticoagulant therapy is used both to treat & to
prevent throboembolism.
• 2majortypes:1.antiplateletmedications
2. antithrombinmedications
• Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) +
clopidogrel(anticoagulant) given for 4
weeks after stent implantation.
• dailyaspirintypicallycontinuedlifelong.
• Mayincreaseriskoforalbleedingfollowingsurgical
procedures.
• Associated conditions which predispose patient to
uncontrolled hemostasis : uraemia or liver diseases or
use of NSAIDS.
• Ifemergencysurgeryneedstobedone,DDAVP(1-
desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin)
isadministered{0.3 micro kg/body wt
parenterally}within1hrofsurgery.
105
• Antithrombin medications are dicumarols (
eg.Warfarin),itinhibitsbiosynthesisofvit.–K
dependent coagulations protein.
- Efficacy monitoredbyprothrombintimeorthe
international normalized ratio (INR), which is
calculated on the basis of international
sensitivityindex(ISI).
- INR ranges from 2.0 – 3.5 & it should be performed
within 24 hrs of surgery.
- If INR is < 3.5, anticoagulation therapy should be
discontinued before minor surgical procedures.
106
3 different protocols used to treatpatientswith
elevated INR :
• Ist protocol– warfarin not discontinued
(minimizes thromboembolic events &
increasesriskofbleedingaftersurgery).
• IInd protocol– warfarin discontinued (drug
shouldbe discontinued 2-3 days prior to surgery,
during this period patient is at risk of developing
thromboembolic event but not bleeding).
• IIIrd protocol– warfarin discontinued &
patientplaced on alternative anticoagulant
therapy (thromboemboliceventminimized).

121
DENTALCONSIDERATIONS
• To prevent complication of infective
endocarditis ,all dental procedures should be
carriedunderantibioticcover.
• Amoxicillin prophylaxis-1 hour beforeand
6hours after the initial dose.
• Good oral hygiene measures ,fluoride
treatment, chlorhexidine rinses and routine
cleaningsto reduce harmful bacteremias.
122
• Proper history should be taken to
identifyhistoryofrheumaticfeverduringchildh

• Suspicious cases should be referred to
cardiologist for cardiac evaluation prior to
dental procedures.
• Clindamycin or erythromycin prophylaxis
duringdentaltreatment.
• Elective dental treatment under physician
consultation.

HEARTFAILURE
HEARTFAILURE
• Heart failure (HF) is a
condition in which a
problemwiththestructure
orfunction of the heart
impairsitsability tosupply
sufficient blood flow to
meetthebody'sneeds.
• Commoncausesofheart
failure–
• ischemicheartdiseases
• Hypertension
• Valvulardiseases
125
Left-sidedfailure(MORECOMMON)
• Failure of the left ventricle causes congestion of the
pulmonaryvasculature,andsothesymptomsare
predominantlyrespiratoryinnature.Thepatient
willhavedyspnea(shortnessofbreath)onexertion
and in severe cases, dyspnea at rest.
Increasingbreathlessnessonlyingflat,called
orthopnea.
• Another symptom of heart failure is
paroxysmanocturnal dyspnea also known as
"cardiac asthma", a sudden nighttime attack of
severe breathlessness, usually several hours after
going to sleep.
• Inadequate cerebral oxygenation leads to loss of
c
o
ncentration,restlessness and irritability.
126
Right-sidedfailure
• Failure of the right ventricle leads to
congestion of systemic capillaries. This
helpsto generate excess fluid accumulation in
the body. This causes swelling under the
skin(termed peripheral edema or anasarca)
• If occurswith Mitralstenosisis called
congestiveheartfailure.
127
• Biventricularfailure,faiure

CARDIACARRHYTHMIA
CARDIACARRHYTHMIA:
• Cardiac arrhythmia (also
dysrhythmia) is a term for
any of a large and
heterogeneous group of
conditionsinwhichthereis
abnormalelectrical activity
in the heart.
• The heart beat may be too
fast or too slow, and may be
regular or irregular .
• Procainamide can cause
agranulocytosis,oral
ulcerations.
• Quinidine-infrequentoral
ulcerations.
• Disopyramide is
anticholinergic agent capable
of producing xerostomia.
• verapamil,enalapril can cause
gingival hyperplasia.

ORAL
HEALTHCONSIDERATION
& ORALMANIFESTATION
• Valvular heart disease that compromises cardiac output
produces signs of hypoxemia.
• Cyanosisoflipsandoralmucosaisthemostprominentoral sign
of tissue hypoxia.
AccordingtoAmericanheartassociationguidelines:
• Antibiotic prophylaxis should be administered to
patientswho have undergone mitral or aortic valve repair
or replacement.
• Patientswithapriorhistoryofinfectiveendocarditis.
• Patientswithmitraloraorticregurgigationorstenosis.
• Patientswithmitral valvularprolapsewithvalvular
regurgigation.
148
• Diagnosis of congenital cardiac
malformationscan be made as early as 13
weeks, and, in families with heart disease.
• Early examination in pregnancy allows parents
toconsideralloptions,includingterminationof
pregnancy,iftherearemajormalformations.
• Hypertensive disorders during pregnancy
occurin women with pre-existing primary
orsecondary chronic hypertension, and in
women who develop new-onset hypertension in
the second half of pregnancy.
155
156
157
158
CONGENITAL
HEARTDISEASES
• Congenital heart disease usually manifests in
childhood but may pass unrecognised and not
present until adult life.
• The fetus has only a small flow of bloodthrough
the lungs, as it does not breathe in utero. The
fetal circulation allows oxygenatedblood from
the placenta to pass directly to the left side of
the heart through the foramen ovale
withouthavingtoflowthroughthelungs.
159
PersistentDuctusArteriosus
• During fetal life, before the lungs begin
tofunction, most of the blood from the
pulmonary artery passes through the ductus
arteriosus into the aorta.
• Normally, the ductus closes soon after
birthbut sometimes fails to do so.
• Since the pressure in the aorta is higher than
that in the pulmonary artery, there will be a
continuous arteriovenous shunt.
160
161
Management:
• Apatentductusisclosedatcardiac
catheterisation with an implantable occlusive
device.
• When the ductus is structurally intact,
aprostaglandin synthetase inhibitor
(indometacinor ibuprofen) may be used in the
first week
oflifeandalsoimprovingoxygenationtoinduce
closure.
162
Coarctationoftheaorta
• Narrowing of the aorta occurs in the
regionwhere the ductus arteriosus joins the
aorta, i.e. at the isthmus just below the origin
of the left subclavian artery.
• Management : In untreated cases, death may
occur from left ventricular failure, dissection
ofthe aorta or cerebral haemorrhage.

Atrialseptaldefect
• ‘Ostiumprimum’defectsresultfromadefectin
the atrioventricular septum and are associated
witha‘cleftmitralvalve’(splitanteriorleaflet).
• As a result there is gradual enlargement of the
right side of the heart and of the pulmonary
arteries.

• Management : Closure can also be
accomplished at cardiac catheterisation using
implantable closure devices.
• Severe pulmonary hypertension and shunt
reversal areboth contraindications to surgery

Ventricularseptaldefect
• Congenital ventricular septal defect occurs as a result
of incomplete septation of the ventricles.
• Management:Smallventricularseptaldefects

anddiuretics.Persistingfailureisanindicationfor
surgical repair of the defect. Percutaneous closure
devices are under development.

• Conclusions. Evidence continues to support an association
amongperiodontal infections, atherosclerosis and vascular disease.
Ongoing observational and focused pilot intervention studies may inform
thedesign of large-scale clinical intervention studies.
Recommendingperiodontal treatment for the prevention of
atherosclerotic CVD is notwarranted based on scientific evidence.
Periodontal treatment must be recommended on the basis of the value
of its benefits for the oral health of patients, recognizing that patients are
not healthy without good oral health. However, the emergence of
periodontal infections as a potential riskfactorfor CVD
isleadingtoaconvergenceinoralandmedicalcare that can only benefit the
patients and public health.

• Abstract
Knownriskfactorsforcoronary heartdiseasedonotexplainalloftheclinical and
epidemiological features of the disease. To examine the role of chronic bacterial
infections as risk factors for the disease the association between poor dental
health and acute myocardial infarction was investigated in two separate case-
control studies of a total of 100 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 102
controls selected from the community at random. Dental health was graded by
using two indexes, one of which was assessed blind. Based on these
indexesdentalhealth wassignificantly worsein patientswithacute myocardial
infarction thanincontrols. Theassociation remainedvalidafteradjustmentfor age,
social class, smoking, serum lipid concentrations, and the presence of diabetes.
Further prospective studies are required in different populations to confirm the
association and to elucidate its nature.

SUMMARY
176
• Cardiovascular problems are non-communicable
diseases which are growing in India and other
partsof the world very fast.
• The dental considerations for such cases are required
