RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the relationship between intramammary @entity729 detected by screening mammography and concomitant @entity453 , detected by coronary angiography. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated screening mammography and coronary angiography results of 131 consecutive @entity1 , ages 42-81 years. Risk factors for @entity453 ( @entity101 , @entity6 , @entity2299 , smoking, and @entity28 ) were obtained from medical records to identify possible simultaneous risk factors for @entity453 . RESULTS: Eighty-five @entity1 had @entity453 (41 with intramammary @entity729 and 44 without such calcifications) and 46 had normal coronary angiography (11 had intramammary @entity729 and 35 did not). A strong association between intramammary @entity729 and @entity453 was seen, with an OR of 2.96 and P = .006 in the raw model and OR of 4.6 in the adjusted one. The evaluated risk factors did not present as confounding variables. Most @entity1 had only two risk factors or less. The most prevalent risk factor for @entity453 was @entity101 , with significantly higher prevalence in the @entity453 group (P < .01). CONCLUSION: A strong association exists between intramammary @entity729 and @entity453 . Therefore a mammographic finding of intramammary @entity729 should receive more of the radiologists' attention and its presence should never be omitted from the final report.
