The Professor Peter Weissberg from British Heart Foundation has given the following statement: &#8220;It has long been known that people with abnormal heart valves can become seriously ill if they have poor dental hygiene. Several recent studies have hinted that poor oral health may also increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.&#8221; Recent studies have shown that the chemicals produced by the body&#8217;s immune system to fight gum diseases can enter into the bloodstream, which then trigger the release of substances that cause the build-up of fatty deposits and clots in the arteries. This can lead to potential coronary problems.

Heart failure patients used to be advised not to exercise, as there was a risk that the weakened heart would fail again as it would not be able to cope with the increased stress levels during exercise. However, latest research now says that it is OK for patients to exercise. Exercising three times a week for half an hour does not raise the risk of heart attack, erratic heart rhythms, chest pain of fractures. In fact, the study showed that those that exercise actually were less likely to have a heart attack or other problems and fatality rates reduced amongst those exercising. The results of the research were announced at the American Heart Association&#8217;s annual meeting in New Orleans. These finding will change attitudes of both health professionals and health/life insurers regarding physical activity for heart failure patients. Even though no previous research had determined that exercise was unsafe, it was always assumed that it would somehow lead to more problems for the patient. &#8220;The key finding is whether or not exercise is safe.
