Cardiovascular Events and Mortality among Patients and Controls with Calcified Carotid Artery Atheromas on Panoramic Radiographs: A 10-Year Follow-up of the PAROKRANK Study
Bilateral CCAAs on PRs were an indicator of an increased risk of future cardiovascular events and early death among both controls and patients in the PAROKRANK study. Therefore, dentists can detect CCAA on PR and contribute to identifying individuals in need of medical attention and treatment of cardiovascular disease to prevent morbidity and early death.
