A new study finds AI can potentially detect artery calcification in routine mammograms, helping identify women at risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death.

Research shows AI can assess calcium deposits in breast arteries during mammograms. Higher levels were linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attack, stroke, heart failure ...

The arterial vasculature is the second most frequently calcified structure in the human body after the skeleton. Calcification of the aorta and aortic valves occurs in most individuals in westernized ...

BACKGROUND: There is limited evidence of the relationship between aortic and iliac calcification and aortic events (aortic dissection or aneurysm rupture) and major adverse limb events (MALEs; ...

AI-driven quantification of breast arterial calcification on imaging could ID higher-risk ...

AI-quantified BAC on a single index screening mammogram independently predicted MACE and all-cause mortality in large Emory and Mayo cohorts, supporting risk stratification during standard breast ...

The team used AI to analyze the amount of calcium deposit in the arteries of the breast tissue, known to be a risk factor for heart disease.

Despite the frequency of coronary artery calcification among patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis, only 25% were using statins. A significant percentage of patients ...

A new study published in the journal Sleep Medicine has shown that artery calcification appears to be nearly twice as common in people who sleep in and stay up late compared to people who rise early ...

Artery calcification is almost twice as common in night owls compared to early birds. Circadian function appears to be particularly important during the early stages of cardiovascular disease. Artery ...
