Reuters Health – Mammograms performed to check the health of the breasts could also give clues to the health of the heart, researchers say.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because the amount of calcium in the arteries of the breast, which can be seen on a digital <\/span>mammogram, seems to reflect the amount of calcium in the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart.<\/p>\n

Although women are commonly screened for breast cancer with mammography<\/span>, there is no routine screening test for heart disease. Calcium in the coronary arteries is known to be an early sign of heart disease. Finding a link between calcium in the breast arteries and calcium in the coronary arteries is a reason to \u201cpay attention,\u201d study coauthor Dr. Jagat Narula from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City told Reuters Health by email.<\/p>\n
