Myocardial fibrosis detected with Gadolinium Delayed Enhancement in Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Ventriculoarterial Coupling alterations in patients with Acute Myocarditis

Myocardial fibrosis detected with Gadolinium Delayed Enhancement in Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Ventriculoarterial Coupling alterations in patients with Acute Myocarditis

Background: The delayed Gadolinium Myocardium Enhancement (DGE) extent on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) correlates with biomarkers of myocardial injury in patients with acute viral myocarditis and is an independent predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcome. Ventriculoarterial Coupling (VAC) is...
