Diagnostic values of edema-sensitive T2-weighted imaging, TSE T1-weighted early contrast-enhanced imaging, late gadolinium enhancement, and the Lake Louise criteria in assessing acute myocarditis: A single-center cardiac magnetic resonance study.
CONCLUSION: LGE and/or edema as a sole criterion for the diagnosis of acute myocarditis demonstrated better diagnostic accuracy than the Lake Louise criteria. The use of EGEr did not improve the performance of CMR-based diagnosis. Alternatives to the use of EGEr are recommended for the diagnosis of acute myocarditis.
