Online
140 min
Prof Søren Jepsen, RDH Helen Minnery and Prof Anna Norhammar. Moderated by Prof Lars Rydén.
Overview
We proudly present this digital event, consisting of a tri-part lecture and discussion. Our multidisciplinary expert team will reflect on the past, present, and possible future of caring for patients with cardiovascular disease and periodontitis. The eminent Lars Rydén, professor of cardiology at Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden, will be our moderator.
This will not be your ordinary online webinar – we are happy to present a very interactive symposium; discussions intertwined with presentations and questions from the audience. You will, amongst other things, hear about guidelines and how the relationship between cardiovascular disease and periodontal disease impacts patient care and treatment outcome. With a growing ageing population and an increase in lifestyle diseases, the knowledge from this symposium will truly be of use for you in your daily clinical practice.

Together with Professor Lars Rydén she has since the late 1990/millennium performed clinical research on diabetes, prediabetes and cardiovascular disease and found high proportion of undiscovered diabetes among patients with myocardial infarction when investigated with oral glucose tolerance test. During 2010-2014 she was part of the PAROKRANK-steering group and designed and performed a national case-control study investigating dental health in patients with myocardial infarction and their matched controls. The main results were published in Circulation 2016. On this meeting Anna Norhammar will present data from the PAROKRANK study on the association on periodontal disease and myocardial infarction and on the association between periodontal disease and undiscovered diabetes.
