Treatment for periodontal disease might reduce the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients undergoing ablation, suggesting that periodontitis is a modifiable risk factor for AF.

Atherosclerosis is the primary underlying cause of myocardial infarction and stroke. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is characterized by a chronic inflammatory reaction in medium-to-large-sized arteries, with its onset and perpetuation driven by leukocytes infiltrating the subendothelial space. Activation of endothelial cells triggered by hyperlipidaemia and lipoprotein retention in the arterial intima initiates the accumulation of pro-inflammatory leukocytes in the arterial wall, fostering the progression of atherosclerosis. This inflammatory response is coordinated by an array of soluble mediators, namely cytokines and chemokines, that amplify inflammation both locally and systemically and are complemented by tissue-specific molecules that regulate the homing, adhesion and transmigration of leukocytes. Despite abundant evidence from mouse models, only a few therapies targeting leukocytes in atherosclerosis have been assessed in humans. The major challenges for the clinical translation of these therapies include the lack of tissue specificity and insufficient selectivity of inhibition strategies. In this Review, we discuss the latest research on receptor–ligand pairs and interactors that regulate leukocyte influx into the inflamed artery wall, primarily focusing on studies that used pharmacological interventions. We also discuss mechanisms that promote the resolution of inflammation and highlight how major findings from these research areas hold promise as potential therapeutic strategies for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. In this Review, the authors discuss the receptors, ligands and interactors that regulate immune cell recruitment in atherosclerosis, describe mechanisms that promote the resolution of inflammation in atherosclerotic lesions, and highlight potential strategies to target these pathways for the treatment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

The under-representation of women in cardiovascular clinical trials persists across participant, clinician and research roles. This gap perpetuates health inequity and hampers the generation, translation and implementation of optimal evidence-based care. Urgent action is needed to address barriers, promote diversity, and ensure inclusive trial design and health-care delivery and dissemination, for more equitable cardiovascular health.
