Advancements in cancer treatment have significantly improved survival rates, but they have also led to an increased risk of cardiovascular complications. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other oncological therapies can cause endothelial damage, contribute to coronary artery disease and lead to major adverse cardiac events (MACE). This creates a...Read more

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in women worldwide. Traditional risk scores such as the Framingham score often fail to accurately assess the risk in women, leading to missed opportunities for early diagnosis and prevention. Recently, breast arterial calcifications (BAC), visible on routine mammograms,...Read more
