Mammograms could soon screen for heart disease, advocates push for change

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new institute, founded by a former CEO of Susan G. Komen, is advocating for the inclusion of breast arterial calcification (BAC) findings on all mammogram reports. BAC is a marker for heart disease, and while it can be detected during mammograms, it is not currently a standard part of reporting. The institute aims to establish clinical guidelines for this practice, which could significantly improve cardiovascular risk assessment for women. AI

IMPACT Potential to integrate AI-driven analysis of mammograms for cardiovascular risk assessment, improving preventative care.
