May support CMR differentiation of AMI from myocarditis in acute chest pain; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Observational (n=55)
Does combined early first-pass perfusion and delayed-enhancement cardiac MR imaging differentiate acute myocardial infarction from myocarditis in patients with acute chest pain?
p-value: p=< .05
Combined early first-pass perfusion and delayed-enhancement cardiac MR imaging effectively distinguishes acute myocardial infarction from myocarditis in patients presenting with atypical acute chest pain.
Laissy et al. (2005) conducted an observational in Acute chest pain (n=55). Early first-pass perfusion and delayed-enhancement cardiac MR imaging was evaluated on Differentiation of MR imaging patterns between acute myocardial infarction and myocarditis (p=< .05). Combined early first-pass perfusion and delayed-enhancement cardiac MR imaging significantly differentiated acute myocardial infarction from myocarditis based on distinct enhancement patterns (P < .05).
