Abstract Background: Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) only demonstrates regional abnormalities in myocarditis and does not adequately assess diffuse myocardial involvement. Objective: To evaluate possible differences in T1 and T2 mapping between ventricular wall segments with and without LGE in patients with myocarditis, compared to control subjects. Methods: In a case-control design, 22 patients with CMR evidence of myocarditis and 18 controls with normal CMR were assessed. The study included: (1) T1 mapping (shortened modified Look-Locker […]
