Acute myocarditis in a young 22-year-old male with troponin I rise up to 34 and recent history of gastro-enteritis. T1 map (A), obtained one week after the acute chest pain, shows a rim of high T1 values in the mid and distal lateral walls (1205 ms, ie, +15% or +4.1 SD vs 1044 ms in the septum). T2-STIR imaging (B) found a similar high signal area in several parts of the lateral wall and at the apex. Corresponding LGE image (C) depicts more clearly the cluster of sub-epicardial hyper-enhanced foci in the same location.
