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.
乳腺动脉中的钙沉积在乳房X光片上很常见,其出现频率随年龄增长而增加,尤其是在绝经后。研究人员对600名心血管事件高危女性的乳腺动脉钙化患病率进行了研究,并评估了经典心血管危险因素是否是这些钙化的独立决定因素。
