About this trial

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.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Cardiac CT Scan

    Diagnostic test

    A non-contrast Cardiac CT Scan is a routine exam and a non-invasive scan to look for coronary artery calcium.

  • Bloodwork

    Diagnostic test

    Blood will be drawn at a Northwell Lab. Participants will need to fast before the collection. Cholesterol levels, blood sugar (hemoglobin A1C), and markers for inflammation and kidney function will be analyzed.

Treatment groups

200 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: BAC = 0 Group2 interventions
Group B: BAC >0 Group2 interventions
