Abstract
Over the past ten years, cardiac MRI has become an indispensable tool for acute myocarditis diagnosis. Under appropriate conditions, cardiac MRI may allow postponement of initial coronary angiography in many instances. The 2020 ESC guidelines give a class I recommendation to its use in the setting of MINOCA for differential diagnosis between acute myocardial infarction, myocarditis, Tako-Tsubo and other cardiac pathologies, in order to improve therapeutic management and follow-up. This article describes the technical characteristics of MRI in myocarditis (Lake Louise diagnostic criteria and criteria based on myocardial tissue mapping), the main differential diagnoses, the prognostic value and addresses the issue of myocarditis in the setting of COVID-19.
