简介
Background
Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is absent in many patients with suspected myocarditis and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LV‐EF), which poses difficulties in diagnosis and risk stratification.
Purpose
To investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of ventricular myocardial strain in patients with suspected myocarditis, preserved LV‐EF, and negative Lake Louis Criteria (LLC) by comparing the findings in LGE negative and LGE positive patients.
Study Type
Retrospective.
Population
A total of 108 patients with clinically suspected myocarditis who did not satisfy LLC were divided into LGE negative (N = 65) and LGE positive (N = 43) groups. A control group consisted of 50 healthy volunteers.
Field Strength/Sequence
Steady‐state free precession cine and phase‐sensitive inversion recovery segmented gradient echo LGE sequences at 3.0 T.
Assessment
Myocardial strain of the …
