Heart Disease: Understanding the Impact of Breast Arterial Calcifications on Cardiovascular Health
Heart Disease and Women's Health
Heart disease risk factors can be detected through routine mammograms. Recent studies show that breast arterial calcifications are correlated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Implications of Calcifications
These calcifications, while primarily associated with breast health, may also serve as crucial indicators of heart disease risk. Women, especially during menopause, should be aware of their cardiovascular health.
Addressing the Gaps in Healthcare
- Heart disease remains the leading cause of mortality in women.
- Healthcare providers need effective risk assessment tools for women.
- Increased awareness and research are necessary for better health outcomes.
