Abstract

Calcium deposits in breast arteries are commonly seen on mammograms, and their frequency increases with age, especially after menopause. The investigators studied the prevalence of breast arterial calcium in 600 women at high risk for cardiovascular events and assessed whether classic cardiovascular risk factors are independent determinants of these calcifications.
