as well as some limitations&#46;</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">As points of interest&#44; the authors focused on two important and frequently forgotten markers of atherosclerosis&#58; periodontitis and EFT&#46; They proved EFT can be different in patients with the same cardiovascular risk profile&#44; when assessed according to conventional risk factors&#44; and&#44; in these circumstances&#44; periodontitis&#47;inflammation can be a differentiating factor&#46; This difference may weigh in on the decision over whether or not to begin therapy in patients with intermediate risk level&#44; assessed according to conventional risk factor scores&#46;</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The main limitations of the study are the small population size and the use of echocardiography&#44; which provides a limited assessment of EFT&#46; Moreover&#44; they assume that patients with high EFT will have a higher risk of developing atherosclerosis and its complications&#44; such as coronary artery disease&#44; but this concept is not supported&#44; and could not be proven in the present case-control study&#46; A case-control study can evidence an association of factors&#44; but not causality&#46;</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion&#44; this interesting paper highlights the importance of periodontitis and EFT in cardiovascular risk&#46; They conclude that both markers are linked and assume they represent a high atherosclerotic risk&#46;</p><p id="par0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">More importantly&#44; we need to define whether we are facing risk markers or risk factors&#44; meaning whether these clinical markers can be reversed not only as parameters&#44; but especially in terms of reducing the cardiovascular risk in primary and secondary prevention&#46;</p><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A long term randomized prospective study&#44; with an adequate sample size&#44; can provide answers to important question&#46; Until we have these results&#44; periodontitis and EFT are important markers of atherosclerosis&#46; In addition&#44; in terms of periodontitis&#44; oral health must be maintained&#44; not only for general health and but also possibly for vascular health&#46; EFT associated with obesity and other metabolic diseases must be treated according to current guidelines&#46;</p><span id="sec0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0005">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The author has no conflicts of interest to declare&#46;</p></span></span>"

the significance of atherosclerotic disease would depend on the importance of the affected vessel&#40;s&#41;&#46; In the case of coronary disease&#44; greater importance would be attributed to the left main or left anterior descending artery &#40;depending&#44; of course&#44; on the degree of obstruction&#41; and disease of the right coronary artery would be considered less serious&#46;</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Atherosclerosis is now identified as a systemic disease with conventional and emerging new risk factors&#44;

we need to define whether we are facing risk markers or risk factors&#44; meaning whether these clinical markers can be reversed not only as parameters&#44; but especially in terms of reducing the cardiovascular risk in primary and secondary prevention&#46;</p><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A long term randomized prospective study&#44; with an adequate sample size&#44; can provide answers to important question&#46; Until we have these results&#44; periodontitis and EFT are important markers of atherosclerosis&#46; In addition&#44; in terms of periodontitis&#44; oral health must be maintained&#44; not only for general health and but also possibly for vascular health&#46; EFT associated with obesity and other metabolic diseases must be treated according to current guidelines&#46;</p><span id="sec0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0005">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The author has no conflicts of interest to declare&#46;</p></span></span>"
