Summary

This study looked at whether telling women about calcium buildup in their breast arteries (found during a mammogram) could encourage them to take steps for better heart health. Over 5,000 women took part, and a smaller group received their calcium results along with their usual mammogram report. The goal was to see if this extra information leads to more heart checkups and healthier habits.
