What mammograms reveal about health beyond breast cancer
Original: In a heartbeat: What mammograms can reveal about your health beyond breast cancer
Mammograms, routinely used to screen for breast cancer, can also pick up signs of other health problems. Calcification patterns visible in breast scans are associated with cardiovascular risk, meaning the imaging may offer early clues about heart disease and other conditions. The finding highlights how a standard screening test could provide broader preventive value than patients typically expect.
Why now: Growing interest in how routine breast screening can double as an early warning for cardiovascular and other diseases.
