Abstract:
Chronic inflammation has emerged as a key factor that contributes to some common chronic diseases and reduces lifespan. Studies have identified multiple types of chronic inflammation ranging from autoimmune disease, which attacks specific tissues, to autoinflammatory diseases, which cause low-grade systemic inflammation and contribute to several common chronic diseases. This article highlights new perspectives on the role of chronic inflammation in cardiovascular disease (CVD). Such information is being leveraged to develop new treatment strategies for CVD and may inform how periodontal disease influences CVD.
