Elliott MD, et al. - In asymptomatic patients with diabetes, researchers determined the prevalence and prognostic significance of unrecognized myocardial infarction (MI) by delayed-enhancement MRI (DE-MRI). The study sample consisted of 120 asymptomatic patients without known cardiac disease. A composite of all-cause mortality and clinical MI was the primary endpoint. The prevalence of unrecognized MI was 19% by DE-MRI and 5% by electrocardiography. According to findings, unrecognized MI is prevalent in asymptomatic diabetes patients without a history of heart disease, resulting in a significantly increased risk of death and clinical MI.
