CMR Results in Relation to ECG and Troponin Florian A. Clin Res Cardiol 2015:104:154. ECG ST elevation (I, V2-V6)
Clinical and MRI Parameters as Predictors of Outcome In Pediatric Myocarditis Sachdeva S. Am J Cardiol 2015:15:499. N-58 pts 16 year old male patient with chest pain, dyspnea and flu-like symptoms with troponin T elevation, ECG ST elevation V2 to V6. LGE showed extensive hyperenchancement with subepicardial distribution in the inferior, lateral and anterior wall and septum.
Summary of Recommended Components of The CMR Report for Myocarditis Friedrich M. JACC 2009:53:17. LV volume and function LV end-diastolic volume and volume index LV end-systolic volume and volume index Ejection fraction Cardiac index LV mass and mass index Presence or absence of markers for inflammatory activity and injury of ST T2 signal/edema (regional edema or global T2 ratio) Calculated global myocardial myocardial early gadolinium enhancement ratio Myocardial late gadolinium enhancement with nonischemic regional distribution Conclusion Recommendation for follow up Based on the presence or absence of 2 or more criteria, considering additional evidence by the presence of LV dysfunction and/or pericardial effusion Based on clinical setting A follow-up >4 weeks after the onset of symptoms may have prognostic implications and thus is recommended.
Conclusions M. Friedrich. Circ Cardiovasc Imaging 2013:6:833. Structured Reporting Heart Function and Morfology Edema Hyperemia Necrosis/Scar Pericardial Effusion Associate Finding in Thorax MRI has the most comprehensive and accurate disgnostic tool in patients with suspected myocarditis; Verifies or exculeds myocardial inflammation and reversibel irreversible injury; MRI has an impact on therapeutic decision making and could provide a new, unexpected diagnosis; MRI is a predictor of functional and clinical recovery and death; Important for selection of patients for endomyocardial biopsy.
