Diagnostic and prognostic role of cardiac magnetic resonance in acute myocarditis

Heart Failure Reviews
Chrysanthos GrigoratosGiovanni Donato Aquaro

Abstract

Acute myocarditis (AM) is commonly found in everyday clinical practice. Differential diagnosis between various causes of myocardial damage with non-obstructive coronary arteries can be cumbersome for clinician. Moreover, AM may be provoked by a number of different causes and clinical presentation can be heterogeneous with potential overlap going from asymptomatic or subclinical to severe heart failure, arrhythmias, and death. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) over the last decades has proven to be the diagnostic technique of choice since it allows identifying AM with excellent diagnostic accuracy. Latest technological advancement with parametric imaging such as T1 and T2 mapping further increases sensitivity and provides additional help towards a correct diagnosis. CMR however is no longer to be considered as a mere diagnostic tool but also as a powerful source of prognostic information. Scientific evidence has corroborated CMR's role beyond diagnosis demonstrating how late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) presence is a powerful predictor of cardiac events and how the presence of septal LGE is to be considered of worst prognosis regardless of LGE extension even in patients with preserved global systolic function. CMR should be routi...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
