[Breast arterial calcifications and cardiovascular risk in women]
Cardiovascular (CV) diseases remain the leading cause of mortality in women and often present as the first clinical manifestation, highlighting the limitations of current risk scores. In this context, breast arterial calcifications (BACs), incidentally detected on screening mammography, are emerging as a potential biomarker of systemic CV risk. This narrative review summarizes the most recent evidence (2023-2026) on the association between BACs and CV outcomes, including observational studies, prospective and re…
Artificial intelligence-based algorithms improve quantification of breast arterial calcifications detected on screening mammography and strengthen their prognostic value for cardiovascular risk in women.
No evidence demonstrates incremental prognostic value of BACs beyond guideline-recommended scores like SCORE2 and SCORE2-OP, and prospective integration studies are still needed.

Certified into the record
How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0954 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
