Key result
Dental patients with cardiovascular diseases require specific management protocols, including careful use of anesthetics with vasoconstrictors and continuation of antithrombotic therapy.
Dentists must be aware of cardiovascular risks and appropriately manage patients with CVDs, especially those on antithrombotic therapy or requiring endocarditis prophylaxis.
Dentists require CVD preparedness to reduce periprocedural events; leaves open standardized protocols pending higher-level trials.
Introduction: The basic knowledge about cardiovascular diseases (CVD s), the symptoms and complications that can occur during dental interventions in patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases, and how to handle such patients during the dental intervention are essential to every dentist. Dental patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases that are not adequately treated have a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular event during the dental intervention. Results: The most common cardiovascular diseases that need special dental care are: arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, heart rhythm disorders and heart failure. Conclusion: Particular attention is needed when patients are treated with anticoagulant and /or antiplatelet therapy or when prevention of bacterial endocarditis is required.
