Figure 7 CMR of a Patient With Acute Myocarditis

(Left panel) Diastolic (upper) and systolic (lower) frames of a cine study showing hyperdynamic systolic function. (Middle panel) Non-breath-hold T1-weighted images acquired before (upper) and over the first minutes after gadolinium indicating significant myocardial gadolinium uptake. The uptake ratio (early enhancement) was increased. (Right upper panel) T2-weighted image with high signal intensity of the anterior wall. (Right lower panel) Post-contrast T1-weighted (late enhancement) image showing possible diffuse necrosis but lack of regional injury (see Online Video 6).
