AB  - OBJECTIVES: In an elderly population, the prevalence of unrecognized myocardial 
      infarction (UMI) scars found via late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac 
      magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging was more frequent than expected. This study 
      investigated whether UMI scars detected with LGE-CMR at age 70 would be 
      detectable at age 75 and whether the scar size changed over time. METHODS: From 
      248 participants that underwent LGE-CMR at age 70, 185 subjects underwent a 
      follow-up scan at age 75. A myocardial infarction (MI) scar was defined as late 
      enhancement involving the subendocardium. RESULTS: In the 185 subjects that 
      underwent follow-up, 42 subjects had a UMI scar at age 70 and 61 subjects had a 
      UMI scar at age 75. Thirty-seven (88 %) of the 42 UMI scars seen at age 70 were 
      seen in the same myocardial segment at age 75. The size of UMI scars did not 
      differ between age 70 and 75. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of UMI scars detected 
      at LGE-CMR increases with age. During a 5-year follow-up, 88 % (37/42) of the UMI 
      scars were visible in the same myocardial segment, reassuring that UMI scars are 
      a consistent finding. The size of UMI scars detected during LGE-CMR did not 
      change over time. KEY POINTS: * UMI scars detected by LGE-CMR are frequent in 
      elderly. * The prevalence of UMI scars detected with LGE-CMR increases with age. 
      * UMI scar size does not change over time.
