Article Synopsis
- Septic shock remains a serious condition with high rates of morbidity and mortality, particularly affecting heart function, which might be improved through β-blocker therapy to control heart rate and reduce mortality.
- A meta-analysis of ten studies involving 1,121 adults with septic shock showed that β-blockers, especially esmolol, were linked to lower overall mortality rates and better heart performance indicators after 28 days of treatment.
- While the positive results for esmolol were significant, the landiolol subgroup did not demonstrate similar effects, highlighting the need for further research on different β-blockers to understand their varying impacts.
Objectives: Previous observational studies have suggested an association between periodontal disease (PD) and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Nonetheless, evidence linking PD with coronary heart disease (CHD) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is still contradictory. We aim to systematically review the role of PD as a risk factor for ACS (myocardial infarction and unstable angina).
