Implication
May support STE for subclinical myocarditis detection; leaves open validation in prospective cohorts before broader use.
Structured PICO
Does speckle tracking echocardiography help diagnose and monitor left ventricular dysfunction in a patient with acute myocarditis?
P
Population
28-year-old man with myocarditis initially presenting with suspected ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and normal coronary arteries.
I
Intervention
Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) for diagnosis and follow-up.
O
Outcome
Detection of subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction (depressed global longitudinal strain) and correlation with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.surrogate
Speckle tracking echocardiography can successfully detect subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction and monitor recovery in patients with acute myocarditis and preserved ejection fraction.
