Key result
Cardiologist collaboration and pre-treatment risk assessment reduce dental complications in cardiovascular patients.
Why the study?
Ad hoc dental interventions in patients with cardiovascular disease may lead to complications related to cardiovascular status, ongoing therapies, and the type of procedure, requiring pre-treatment assessment and clinical management guidance.
Implementing appropriate pre-treatment risk assessment, preventive measures, and a multidisciplinary approach ensures safer dental treatment and reduces complications in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Supports pre-treatment protocols for CV dental patients; leaves open need for prospective validation.
Introduction: Patients with cardiovascular disease require careful consideration when planning dental treatment. Ad hoc dental interventions may lead to complications due to the patient’s cardiovascular status, ongoing therapies, and type of dental procedure. Objective: The aim of this lecture is to highlight the importance of assessing cardiovascular patients before dental treatment and to provide guidance for safe and effective clinical management. Content: Common cardiac disorders encountered in dental practice include hypertension, heart failure, ischemic heart disease, arrhythmias, infective endocarditis, stroke, and patients with pacemakers. Special attention should be paid to potential oral adverse drug reactions and drug interactions. Modifications in dental procedures and timing, combined with multidisciplinary collaboration with the patient’s cardiologist, are crucial. Preventive strategies and careful monitoring help reduce treatment-related risks. Results and Conclusion: Understanding the risks associated with dental management of cardiac patients and implementing appropriate preventive measures ensures safer treatment, reduces complications, and improves clinical outcomes. A patient-centered, multidisciplinary approach is essential for optimizing dental care in this population.

Tanja Angjusheva (2025) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease (including hypertension, heart failure, ischemic heart disease, arrhythmias, infective endocarditis, stroke, and patients with pacemakers). Pre-treatment cardiovascular assessment, dental procedure modifications, and multidisciplinary collaboration with a cardiologist was evaluated on Safer dental treatment, reduced complications, and improved clinical outcomes. Pre-treatment risk assessment, dental procedure modification, and multidisciplinary collaboration with cardiologists ensure safer dental treatment and reduce complications in cardiovascular patients.
