Can Incidental Vascular Calcifications at Mammography be Used as a Screening Biomarker for Heart and Kidney Disease?

abstract：:A severe thrombotic thrombocytopenic status, induced by heparin in a sixty-nine-year-old woman undergoing total hip joint arthroplasty, was treated by switching the anticoagulant therapy to coumarin, which induced skin necrosis. There appeared to be a possible causal relation between the severe immune reaction to hepa...
