Here we evaluated 4,524,895 adults with a conventional smoking history who participated in the Korean National Health Screening Program in 2018 (baseline), with prior records from 2012–2014.

Abstract Objectives This study sought to evaluate the prevalence and patterns of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) after carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging (CMRI) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Background In acute CO poisoning, cardiac injury can predict mortality. However, it remains unclear why increased mortality and cardiovascular events occur despite normalization of CO-induced elevated troponin I (TnI) and cardiac dysfunction.
