Figure 8 CMR of a Patient With Acute Myocarditis and Chronic Scarring
(Left panel) Diastolic (upper) and systolic (lower) frames of a cine study showing grossly systolic function with mild septal hypokinesis. (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 septum (arrow). (Right lower panel) Post-contrast T1-weighted (late enhancement) image showing a focal scar in the lateral wall but no necrosis in the septal region (see Online Video 7).
