Screening mammography beyond breast cancer: breast arterial calcifications as a sex-specific biomarker of cardiovascular risk
ConclusionsThere is a strong rationale for mammography to become a dual test for breast cancer screening and CV disease prevention. However, robust and automated quantification methods are needed for a deeper insight on the association between BAC and CV disease, to stratifying CV risk and define personalized preventive actions.Graphical abstract

Common diseases as determinants of menopausal age
STUDY QUESTION Can the diagnosis of common diseases before menopause influence age at natural menopause (ANM) onset? SUMMARY ANSWER Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and depression were observed to delay menopause. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY It has been observed that women who undergo early menopause experience a higher burden of health problems related to metabolic syndromes, heart disease and depression, but whether ANM can be influenced by common adult diseases has not been studied extensively. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION All women attending mammography screening or clinical mammography at four hospitals in Sweden were in...

Egg consumption and risk of heart failure, myocardial infarction, and stroke: results from 2 prospective cohorts Cardiovascular disease risk
Conclusions: Daily egg consumption was not associated with risk of MI or any stroke type in either men or women or with HF in women. Consumption of eggs ≥1 time/d, but not less frequent consumption, was associated with an elevated risk of HF in men.

Heartbeat: Highlights from this issue
Prevention of atrial fibrillation (AF) would positively impact global health by decreasing stroke, heart failure and cardiovascular mortality, as well as by improving quality of life for many patients. Older age, hypertension, and obesity are associated with an increased risk of AF in patients without underlying valvular heart disease, heart failure or coronary disease. However, the effects of chronic exercise on AF risk are controversial. Studies in men suggest a lower risk of AF in older men engaging in moderate physical activity, but a higher risk of future AF in younger men engaged in frequent, long-term, intense level...

Relationship Between Physical Activity and Heart Failure Risk in Women Original Articles
Conclusions— Our study shows that physical activity could protect against heart failure in women. When looking closer into different domains of physical activity, walking or biking ≥20 minutes every day was associated with the largest risk reduction of heart failure.
