Abstract

Methods ICELAND-MI is a nested cohort of the Age, Gene/ Environment Susceptibility-Reykjavik Study of community-dwelling older adults that intentionally oversampled diabetic subjects. After excluding subjects with pre-existing heart failure, the cohort size was 900. CMR was used to detect myocardial infarction (MI), major patterns of non-ischemic patterns of LGE as defined by Vohringer (Herz 2007;32:129-37), and minor patterns of non-ischemic LGE including LGE near the aortic root, mitral annulus, or right ventricular insertion points. The composite end-point was adjudicated hospitalization for heart failure and death.
