Inflammation is a complex physiological process that plays a pivotal role in many if not all pathological conditions, including infectious as well as inflammatory diseases, like periodontitis and autoimmune disorders. Inflammatory response to periodontal biofilms and tissue destruction in periodontitis is associated with the release of inflammatory mediators. Chronic inflammation can promote the development of cancer.

- The study aims to evaluate the performance and safety of subcutaneous-implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) technology in athletes compared to nonathletes, focusing on device-related complications and shock occurrences.
- Athletes made up 10.2% of the 1493 patients studied and showed higher incidences of certain heart conditions, with a tendency to experience appropriate shocks more frequently during exercise, although this was not statistically significant after adjusting for other factors.
- Overall, S-ICDs appear to be a safe option for athletes, as there was no significant difference in overall complications or inappropriate shocks between the two groups, though athletes had a higher risk of myopotential oversensing and lead infections shortly after implant.
