Breast Artery Calcification (BAC) and Female Cardiovascular Disease
Sponsor: Northwell Health
Summary
The investigators are recruiting women with and without Breast Artery Calcification (BAC) on their mammograms. Each participant in the study will undergo bloodwork at a Northwell Health lab, a cardiac CT scan, and fill out some brief questionnaires. Results will be shared with the respective participant. At the conclusion of the study, statistical analyses will be performed to further understand the associations between BAC and cardiovascular markers.
