Key result
Advanced cardiac imaging technologies for noninvasive assessment of ventricular function could supplant traditional electrocardiography in population screening for unrecognized myocardial infarction.
Advanced cardiac imaging technologies have the potential to enhance detection of subclinical disease and supplant ECG as the traditional marker of unrecognized myocardial infarction.
he rapid evolution of advanced cardiac imaging technologies has resulted in enhanced detection of subclinical disease with the potential for early implementation of therapeutic strategies and reduction in subsequent morbidity and mortality.Noninvasive assessment of ventricular function can provide evidence of prevalent coronary artery disease and cardiomyopathy and could supplant electrocardiography (ECG), the traditional marker of unrecognized myocardial infarction (UMI), in population screening.An appreciation of past efforts in this field is useful in understanding the potential future trajectories of these technologies.

Owens et al. (2007) conducted an editorial in Unrecognized myocardial infarction. Advanced cardiac imaging technologies vs. Electrocardiography (ECG) was evaluated. Advanced cardiac imaging technologies for noninvasive assessment of ventricular function could supplant traditional electrocardiography in population screening for unrecognized myocardial infarction.
