Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, a key in the patient with acute myocarditis

myocarditis, edema, cardiac MRI.Abstract
Inflammation of the myocardium, viral or not, is called myocarditis. Diagnosis can be a real challenge, and appropriate differential diagnosis with other conditions is needed. Endomyocardial biopsy has been the classical gold standard for the diagnosis of this disease, but nowadays it has been largely replaced by cardiac MRI. A case of a patient with acute myocarditis is presented to emphasize the leading role of cardiac MRI as the first choice test for this kind of patients.
