A case report on transient global ventricular wall thickening secondary to acute myocarditis: Focus on the unique role of cardiac MRI

Conclusions: In summary, we report on a case of transient global ventricular wall thickening secondary to acute myocarditis, which rarely has been described previously. Our study demonstrates that transient ventricular wall thickening related to myocardial interstitial edema also can involve the right ventricular wall, a fact that is important in diagnosis and differential diagnosis. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance currently is considered the most comprehensive and accurate diagnostic tool in patients with suspected myocarditis.
