Cardiac MRI in the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Myocarditis: Current Approaches and Limitations
Abstract
Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart muscle, and its diagnosis and monitoring can often be challenging. Although endomyocardial biopsy remains the gold standard, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is increasingly preferred as a non-invasive, non-deleterious, and repeatable method. CMR contributes significantly to the diagnosis of myocarditis, tissue characterization, functional assessment, and prognostic prediction. However, challenges such as variability in sensitivity and specificity, access inequities, and protocol deficiencies persist in CMR applications. This article addresses the role of CMR in the diagnosis and monitoring of myocarditis, the current limitations, future development areas, and provides recommendations for clinical practice.
