An 18-year-old man presented to the ED with non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT). He reported a history of anosmia for 2 weeks and tested positive for COVID-19. Echo showed a small pericardial effusion and mildly impaired left ventricular systolic function. Troponin-I was elevated and myocarditis was suspected. (a) Cardiac MRI confirmed the small pericardial effusion and (b,c) phase-sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) sequences showed late gadolinium enhancement in a sub-epicardial (non-ischaemic) distribution in the mid and apical lateral and inferolateral wall, which can be seen in myocarditis.
