transthoracic echocardiography versus cardiac mri in the diagnosis of acute myocarditis
نویسندگان
چکیده
case presentation we present a case with a typical picture of myocarditis but normal echocardiographic findings, the diagnosis of which was confirmed by cardiac mri. discussion in particular, cardiac mri data are useful in borderline cases or in the presence of discrepancy between clinical picture and echocardiographic results. introduction the diagnosis of myocarditis based on a spectrum of findings, including symptoms, clinical examination, electrocardiography, biomarkers, and echocardiography, can be non-specific. cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (mri), has become the primary noninvasive technique in patients with suspected myocarditis in some countries.

متن کاملMRI assessment of diastolic dysfunction in comparison to transthoracic echocardiography
Background Over the last decade the interest in diastolic dysfunction has grown, due to the fact that at least half of all cases of newly diagnosed heart failure patients present with preserved ejection fraction. One of the most important tasks of cardiovascular imaging is the objective assessment of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function, which is routinely performed with standa...
