Myocarditis
Discussion:
This case is an example of myocardial tissue characterization in a patient with typical features of myocarditis.
According to the Lake Louise criteria, both main criteria are fulfilled 2:
myocardial edema (based on T2W images or T2 mapping)
non-ischemic myocardial injury (abnormal native T1, ECV, or LGE)
In addition, there is mild systolic dysfunction present, which further supports the diagnosis and accounts for one of the supportive criteria (pericarditis, systolic dysfunction).
