Mammograms can reveal heart risk. Few women are ever told.
Breast arterial calcification (BAC) can show up on a routine mammogram and can be linked to a higher risk of heart disease, yet radiologists are not required to report it. InAWH's BAC Initiative, with Washington Research Foundation, is changing that.
- Ask. "Is BAC visible on my mammogram?"
- Know. Clinicians have a clear protocol for what to do next
- Act. Women and their clinicians work together to care for her heart health
