Abstract	Background Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity and significantly impacts the health-related quality of life. Oral infections have been linked to cardiovascular diseases such as thrombosis, cardiac infarction, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease. This study aims to evaluate the effects of oral health on the quality of life in cardiovascular patients. Methods The oral health-related quality of life was measured using the OHIP-14 questionnaire. Demographic information, questions regarding smoke consumption, wearing removable prostheses, nine questions regarding xerostomia, and the existence of other systemic diseases were asked from 240 participants with cardiovascular diseases. The DMFT index was clinically examined in each patient. Also, the Plaque, Gingival, and Sulcular Bleeding Indices were measured on the Ramfjord teeth. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 16. The independent t test, Mann–Whitney test, the variance analysis, and the Kruskal–Wallis test were used to compare variables in the present study. Also, regression models were used to eliminate the effect of confounding variables. Results Gender variables, removable prosthesis, xerostomia, DMFT, and SBI were the main determinants of quality of life in CVD patients. The mean ADD-OHIP14 of participants in the study was calculated at 21.34 ± 17.40, and the SC-OHIP14 was 6.11 ± 5.07. The mean OHRQoL was higher in females than in males, and this difference was statistically significant. OHRQoL was significantly lower in patients wearing a removable prosthesis than in those without one. The relationship between age and xerostomia was significant in this study, and patients with xerostomia had a lower quality of life than those without xerostomia. Also, the mean DMFT index in subjects with xerostomia was 23.69 ± 7.76, which was statistically significant compared to those without xerostomia. Conclusion Cardiovascular patients experienced a decreased OHRQoL. Prevention or treatment of these problems seems to justify improving the quality of life in these patients.
