Breast artery calcification (BAC) obtained from standard mammographic images is currently under evaluation to stratify risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in women. Measuring BAC using artificial intelligence (AI) technology, we aimed determine the relationship between and coronary (CAC) severity with Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE). This retrospective study included women who underwent chest computed tomography (CT) within one year mammography. T-test assessed associations MACE...

Similarly, coronary calcification (CAC) has been shown to have with 10-year ASCVD risk. Using an investigational artificial intelligence software, we sought determine if relationship exists BAC CAC severity on CT imaging obtained for non-cardiac reasons whether this prognostic implications major adverse cardiac events (MACE).
