Abstract
Myocarditis can be caused by a wide variety of infectious agents and can be detected with the technique of late gadolinium enhancement. This case highlights the use of this technique for establishing a definitive diagnosis between the more common clinical entity of MI and the relatively uncommon condition of myocarditis. In addition, such unusual CMR appearances in conjunction with the appropriate clinical setting could obviate the necessity for endomyocardial biopsy in these patients.
