CMR features of COVID-19-related myocarditis (1.5-T platform). A 25-year-old man presented with MIS-A myocarditis and had elevated troponin I (peaked at 9 ng/ml) and non-specific ST-T changes. CMR showed septal and inferior subepicardial LGE (A, B) and global elevation of T1 (1,245 ms, Z-score 15.6) (C) and T2 values (63 ms, Z-score 11.2) (D). A 24-year-old man with non-MIS myocarditis had dyspnea on exertion after COVID-19. CMR showed basal inferoseptal and mid-inferolateral LGE (E, F), normal global myocardial T1 (968 ms, Z-score 0.2), (G) and mild regional T2 elevation (51 ms, Z-score 3.8) at the location of LGE (H). Yellow arrows point to the locations of LGE. The normal ranges of T1 and T2 were 930 to 1,010 ms, and <50 ms, respectively. The normal range of Z-score was −2 to 2.
