Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 77023
  • Image ID: 52534750
  • Image stack position: 5/12
  • Plane projection: Short axis stack
  • Aux modality: LGE
  • Study description: Cardiac MRI
  • Modality: MRI
  • System: Cardiac
  • Findings: Inhomogeneous myocardial signal intensity on cine SSFP imaging and hyperintense T2W myocardial signal abnormalities in the lateral wall of the left ventricle (LV) indicative of edema. Non-ischemic pattern of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) of the LV myocardium which is predominantly midwall in distribution in the basal to mid anterolateral, inferolateral, and inferoseptal segments and the apical lateral segment most pronounced along the inferolateral wall. Minimal overlying pericardial effusion and pericardial enhancement. Normal LV dimension with preserved overall systolic function. The above findings meet CMR-based criteria for myocardial inflammation and are consistent with an episode of acute myopericarditis.
