Background: Myocardial fibrosis, as quantified by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), provides valuable prognostic information for patients with myocarditis ... of ...
There were findings compatible with myocarditis in the tissue characterisation ... increased global myocardial early gadolinium enhancement ratio between myocardium and skeletal muscle in ...
Design, Setting and Patients: 65 patients (42 years old (SD 15), 41 male) with clinically acute myocarditis were assessed. Using standard methods, T2-weighted and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (early ...
images revealed multiple discreet band-like regions of enhancement in the mid-myocardial left ventricular wall with sparing of the subendocardial layer, suggestive of myocarditis rather than ...
