摘要：Our oral cavity houses various types of microbes including bacteria,protozoa,fungi and viruses,harboring over 700 bacterial species.Oral dysbiosis refers to the imbalance between symbionts and pathobionts in the oral cavity,posing potential threats to host cardiovascular health.Importantly,oral dysbiosis promotes cardiovas-cular pathophysiology through different mechanisms.Although overgrowth of certain pathogenic bacteria have been indicated in some cardiometabolic diseases,it is still premature to consider oral microbiome as a suitable pre-dictor for non-invasive diagnostic purpose.However,tar-geting oral microbiome might still provide preventive and therapeutic insights on cardiovascular diseases.Further extensive efforts are needed to deepen our understanding on oral-cardiovascular connection in the context of diag-nostic and therapeutic perspectives.
