Why the study?
LGE on CMR only demonstrates regional abnormalities in myocarditis and does not adequately assess diffuse myocardial involvement.
Does T1 and T2 mapping reveal diffuse myocardial involvement in patients with myocarditis compared to controls?
Does T1 and T2 mapping reveal diffuse myocardial involvement in patients with myocarditis compared to controls?
T1 mapping reveals diffuse myocardial involvement in patients with myocarditis even in segments without late gadolinium enhancement, suggesting broader inflammation than previously detected by LGE alone.
Suggests diffuse involvement beyond LGE in myocarditis; hypothesis-generating, requires prospective validation before clinical adoption.
