Periodontitis and cardiovascular diseases: Consensus report (2020, background): “There is consistent and strong observational evidence that common acute infections/inflammatory responses are associated at a popula‐ tion level with an increased risk of vascular events within the first 4 weeks of the infectious/inflammatory event (Smeeth et al., 2004).”
