The association between incidentally found breast arterial calcification on routine screening mammography and the development of coronary artery disease and stroke: results of a 10-year prospective study
The objective of this study is to assess whether the presence of breast arterial calcifications (BACs) found on routine mammography is prospectively associated with the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events after 10 years of follow-up. Methods Women presenting for screening mammography were enrolled in this prospective cohort. Baseline data were collected including history of CVD and CVD risk factors. Mammograms were assessed for the presence or absence of BAC. Participants completed questionnaires 10 years after baseline that assessed the development of CVD (coronary artery disease [CAD] and stroke) an...

How AI Is Changing Medical Imaging to Improve Patient Care
That doctors can peer into the human body without making a single incision once seemed like a miraculous concept. But medical imaging in radiology has come a long way, and the latest artificial intelligence (AI)-driven techniques are going much further: exploiting the massive computing abilities of AI and machine learning to mine body scans for differences that even the human eye can miss. Imaging in medicine now involves sophisticated ways of analyzing every data point to distinguish disease from health and signal from noise. If the first few decades of radiology were about refining the resolution of the pictures taken of...

Mammography biomarkers of cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health: A review
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in both women and men and constitutes a major health and economic burden for healthcare systems all over the world [1]. In Europe, 47  % of all deaths in females are caused by CVD: ischemic heart disease and stroke account for 38 % and 26 % of all CVD deaths, respectively [1]. Indeed, estrogen has a protective role against CVD during the fertile age [2], this protection however tends to vanish during the menopause transition , thus contributing to increase CVD risk, together with other adverse physiological and metabolic changes occu...

Bringing WISDOM to Breast Cancer Care
Dr. Laura Esserman answers the door of her bright yellow Victorian home in San Francisco’s Ashbury neighborhood with a phone at her ear. She’s wrapping up one of several meetings that day with her research team at University of California, San Francisco, where she heads the Carol Franc Buck Breast Care Center. She motions me in and reseats herself at a makeshift home office desk in her living room, sandwiched between a grand piano and set of enormous windows overlooking her front yard’s flower garden. It’s her remote base of operations when she’s not seeing patients or operating at the hospita...

Breast Arterial Calcification: A Potential Biomarker for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk?
AbstractPurpose of ReviewWe aimed to summarize the current evidence regarding the association between breast arterial calcification (BAC) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in women and discuss the potential role of BAC in the risk stratification and preventive approaches for ASCVD.Recent FindingsBAC has emerged as a potential women-specific risk marker for ASCVD. Although BAC presents as a medial calcification of the arteries, notably different from the intimal atherosclerotic process, current evidence supports a correlation between BAC and ASCVD risk factors or subclinical and clinical ASCVD, such as coro...

Mammography use in relation to comorbidities and functional limitations among older breast cancer survivors
ConclusionsA higher burden of functional limitations, not comorbidities, is associated with a lower rate of mammography use among older breast cancer survivors.Implications for cancer survivorsInterventions are needed to individualize surveillance mammography among older breast cancer survivors based on their health status.
