no
Term
What are 4 possible explanations for how perio is related to CVD?
Definition

2.cross reactivity
3.perio pathogen invasion of vessels
4.proinflammatory cytokins
Term
How is perio thought to effect platelets?
Definition
induces clot and thrombus formation
Term

Definition
perio initiates the immune response, then endothelial cells of blood vessels are thought to be targeted, causes atherosclerosis

Term
What is the blood glucose number that reflects poor glycemic control?
Definition
200-500 mg/dL
