arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 16, 2026 · UTC

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death among women, yet cardiovascular risk assessment often relies on clinical variables that may be missing, outdated, or unavailable in routine care. Screening mammography offers an opportunity for opportunistic cardiovascular risk stratification because it is routinely acquired and contains vascular features, including breast arterial calcifications (BAC), that are associated with cardiovascular risk and events. We evaluate whether mammography specific foundation models, originally pretrained for breast cancer-related tasks, can tran
