Key result
STE and CMR track myocardial changes and regional strain in acute viral perimyocarditis.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to demonstrate the use of speckle-tracking echocardiography and CMR in monitoring myocardial changes in acute perimyocarditis and to explore whether regional longitudinal strain reflects advanced myocyte damage within myocardial edema.
Case Report (n=1)
Speckle-tracking echocardiography and CMR parametric mapping can monitor myocardial edema, and regional longitudinal strain may predict local prognosis in acute perimyocarditis.

May support strain monitoring in perimyocarditis; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
This report describes the case of a 42-year-old male patient with acute viral perimyocarditis. The case study serves as a demonstration of the use of speckle-tracking echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in monitoring myocardial changes associated with perimyocarditis. It explores the possibility that regional longitudinal strain (LS) may predict prognosis in the affected areas of the myocardium, and could reflect more advanced areas of myocyte damage within myocardial edema.

Adachi et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Acute viral perimyocarditis (n=1). Speckle-tracking echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging was evaluated on Myocardial changes and regional longitudinal strain. Speckle-tracking echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging monitored myocardial changes and regional longitudinal strain in a 42-year-old male with acute viral perimyocarditis.
