TL;DR: Excess risk for all strokes attributed to estrogen plus progestin appeared to be present in all subgroups of women examined, and excess risk of all stroke was apparent in all age groups, in all categories of baseline stroke risk, and in women with and without hypertension, prior history of cardiovascular disease, use of hormones, statins, or aspirin.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed published studies and abstracts in order to provide a quantitative summary of periodontal disease as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and explore the possible causes for conflicting results in the literature.
