Infarct-like versus Non-Infarct-like Clinical Presentation of Acute Myocarditis: Comparison of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) Findings.

Our results showed differences in the localization and distribution of myocardial tissue damage assessed by CMR among forms of AM accompanied by an infarct-like clinical presentation compared with non-infarct-like presentations of AM. The mechanisms underlying the different preferential sites of damage observed in our study are not known, and we do not exclude the possibility of their prognostic implications.
