Abstract This JACC Scientific Expert Panel provides consensus recommendations for an
update of the cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) diagnostic criteria for myocardial …

Myocarditis represents the entity of an inflamed myocardium and is a diagnostic challenge
caused by its heterogeneous presentation. Contemporary noninvasive evaluation of patients …

Background: Diagnosing myocarditis is challenged by nonspecific clinical signs and
symptoms and low accuracy of endomyocardial biopsy. Cardiac magnetic resonance …

Background: Patients with acute myocarditis (AM) are at increased risk of adverse cardiac
events after the index episode. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) detected by …

Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart muscle, diagnosed by histological,
immunological, and immunohistochemical criteria. Endomyocardial biopsy represents the …

Abstract Purpose of Review In this paper we will review the modern diagnostic approach to
patients with clinically suspected myocarditis as well as the treatment modalities and …

Viral myocarditis is inflammation of the myocardium secondary to viral infection. The clinical
presentation of viral myocarditis is very heterogeneous and can range from nonspecific …

Myocarditis encompasses both primary and secondary processes causing inflammation of
the myocardium. Viral infections are a common secondary cause of myocarditis with …

Advanced cardiac imaging techniques such as cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)
and positron emission tomography (PET) are widely used in clinical practice in patients with …

Background Late gadolinium enhancement and left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction on
cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) are prognostic markers, but their predictive value …
