Relationship between breast arterial calcification and lipid profile, plasma atherogenic index, Castelli's risk index and atherogenic coefficient in premenopausal women

Conclusion BAC is a valuable tool for the prediction of deranged lipid profile. Dyslipidemia, PAI, AC, CRI-I and CRI-II are risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis. Our results indicate that BAC is potentially useful tool for the detection of dyslipidemia and early atherosclerosis in premenopausal women.
