Implication
Randomized trial reveals subclinical atherosclerosis links to silent ischaemic scar in low-risk adults, indicating early vascular imaging aids prevention.
Key Points
- Subclinical atherosclerosis burden independently correlates with unrecognized ischaemic scar detection on cardiac magnetic resonance in middle-aged adults.
- Odds of ischaemic scar rose significantly with top-tertile coronary artery calcification (OR 8.31) and high peripheral atherosclerosis (OR 2.77).
- Evaluation of 712 asymptomatic cohort participants using vascular ultrasound and late gadolinium enhancement supports imaging for early intervention.
