Funded Activity Summary

Heart disease remains the major of cause of death in women in the Western world and current methods of screening women for heart disease are out-dated and inaccurate. Calcification in the breast arteries that can be diagnosed on screening mammograms has been associated with future heart disease. This may represent a unique way to screen and treat patients for heart disease without the need for additional testing and our research program aims to investigate this.
