Abstract:
Advancements in quantitative cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) have revolutionized the diagnosis and management of viral myocarditis. With the addition of T1 and T2 mapping parameters in the updated Lake Louise Criteria, CMR can diagnose myocarditis with superior diagnostic accuracy compared with endomyocardial biopsy, especially in stable patients. Additionally, the unique value of CMR tissue characterization continues to improve the diagnosis and risk stratification of myocarditis. This review will discuss new and ongoing developments in cardiovascular imaging and its application to noninvasive diagnosis, prognostication, and management of viral myocarditis and its complications.
