Gum Disease May Cause Dangerous Heart Condition. The American Heart Association Reports that calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) occurs when the aortic valve thickens and calcifies, which restricts blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body. The association between CAVS, which can be serious, and gum disease, has been noted in animal studies. Further research is needed to determine risk in humans. At Dental Implant and Periodontal Specialists in Madison, we emphasize good oral health to support good overall health.
