Breast artery calcium scan and heart disease risk in women
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at calcium deposits seen in breast arteries during a routine mammogram to see if they can help predict heart disease risk in women aged 55 to 65. It may help doctors find heart risk earlier without extra tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how information about the heart may affect treatment decisions for people receiving radiation therapy for breast cancer. It aims to help reduce heart-related side effects from treatment.
This study uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze heart CT scans to help doctors decide if you need medications to lower your risk of a heart attack. It is for people who have some calcium in their heart arteries but no symptoms yet.
This study looks at calcium deposits in the breast arteries seen on mammograms. Researchers will check the removed breast tissue to see if those deposits match what was seen on imaging.
This study uses a CT heart scan (with a calcium score) to better understand risk in people with suspected coronary artery disease. You may be asked to have scan-based measurements and then be followed for at least a year.
This study uses artificial intelligence to look at routine chest CT scans and check for calcium buildup in the heart arteries, which can signal heart disease risk. It aims to see if this can catch heart problems early without needing extra scans.
This study tests a non-invasive CT scan method to detect blockages in the heart arteries in people with suspected stable coronary artery disease. The goal is to find a safe and accurate way to diagnose without invasive procedures.
