AI analysis of routine mammograms can detect heart disease risk in women, study finds

Andy Corbley
Summary
A new study demonstrates that AI can analyze calcium deposits in breast arteries from routine mammograms to detect heart disease risk in women. Since heart disease is the leading cause of death in women worldwide but they are often underdiagnosed compared to men, this AI approach could leverage existing breast cancer screening to identify cardiovascular risk earlier and more effectively.
