Chronic infections, including periodontal infections, may predispose to cardiovascular disease. We investigated the relationship between periodontal microbiota and hypertension. Methods and Results: 653 dentate men and women with no history of stroke or myocardial infarction were enrolled in INVEST. We collected 4533 subgingival plaque samples (average of 7 samples/subject). These were quantitatively assessed for 11 periodontal bacteria using DNA-DNA checkerboard hybridization. Cardiovascular risk factor measurements were obtained. Blood pressure and hypertension (systolic blood pressure≥140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure≥90 mmHg or taking antihypertensive medication, or self-reported history) were each regressed on the level of bacteria: (1) considered causative of periodontal disease (etiologic bacterial burden); (2) associated with periodontal disease (putative bacterial burden); (3) associated with periodontal health (health associated bacterial burden). All analyses were adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, gender, education, body mass index, smoking, diabetes, LDL and HDL cholesterol. Etiologic bacterial burden was positively associated with both blood pressure and prevalent hypertension. Comparing the highest vs. lowest tertiles of etiologic bacterial burden, SBP was 9 mmHg higher, DBP was 5 mmHg higher (p for linear trend <0.001 in each case), and the odds ratio for prevalent hypertension was 3.05 (95%CI:1.60,5.82) after multivariable adjustment. Our data provide evidence of a direct relationship between the levels of subgingival periodontal bacteria and both systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as hypertension prevalence.
