常规乳房X光检查揭示了一名无症状妇女隐藏的心脏病,引发了挽救生命的手术,并强调BAC是潜在的预警信号。 A routine mammogram revealed hidden heart disease in a symptom-free woman, prompting life-saving surgery and highlighting BAC as a potential early warning sign.

在Nancy Preston(67岁,没有心脏病症状的妇女),常规乳房X光检查发现乳房动脉结晶,结果诊断出严重的冠状动脉疾病和挽救生命的剖腹产手术。 A routine mammogram detected breast arterial calcifications (BAC) in Nancy Preston, a 67-year-old woman with no heart symptoms, leading to the diagnosis of severe coronary artery disease and life-saving quintuple bypass surgery. BAC, 乳房动脉中的钙沉积,与系统的动脉烧结有关,并可能预示早期心脏病,特别是在40至59岁的妇女中。 BAC, calcium deposits in breast arteries, is linked to systemic arterial calcification and may signal early heart disease, especially in women aged 40 to 59. 尽管目前的指导方针并不要求报告BAC, 一项涉及近15,000名妇女的西奈山研究显示, 通知病人可以改善心血管风险的早期发现。 Though current guidelines don’t require reporting BAC, a Mount Sinai study involving nearly 15,000 women suggests notifying patients could improve early detection of cardiovascular risk. 专家主张将BAC的研究结果纳入乳房X光检查结果,以便更早地查明心脏病,从而有可能挽救生命。 Experts advocate for including BAC findings in mammogram results to identify heart disease earlier, potentially saving lives.
