BREASTHEALTH: Mammograms Might Spot Stroke RiskFrom: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 22 Feb 2008 14:56:32 -0600 (CST)
Mammograms Might Spot Stroke Risk Calcifications in breast arteries upped chances of cardiovascular trouble, study finds "Calcifications found in the blood vessels of the breasts -- what doctors call benign arterial calcifications -- were more commonly found on the mammograms of women who had suffered a stroke. It's one more piece of information, she said, that could potentially help inform doctors about a woman's risk for cardiovascular disease. If she got a mammogram from a patient with that information, she said, "it would lead me to believe I need to screen this woman for cardiovascular disease." http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_61384.html Regards, Hope Waltman, Fibroid Forum and WH Forum Moderator http://www.hopeforfibroids.org http://www.doctorsinfoweb.com/doctors/whatsnew.htm http://www.obgyn.net/fibroid-resource-center/
