“…Due to the physiologic 18 F-FDG uptake within the myocardium, a specific patient's preparation is needed to assess the presence of inflammatory foci. Therefore, long fasting, low-carbohydrates and high-fat meal and/or fractionated/unfractionated heparin administration before 18 F-FDG injection are commonly used to suppress physiological radiotracer uptake and increase PET specificity [24][25][26].…”

Advanced cardiac imaging techniques such as cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and positron emission tomography (PET) are widely used in clinical practice in patients with acute myocarditis and chronic inflammatory cardiomyopathies (I-CMP). We aimed to provide a review article with practical recommendations from the European Society of Cardiovascular Radiology (ESCR), in order to guide physicians in the use and interpretation of CMR and PET in clinical practice both for acute myocarditis and follow-up in chronic forms of I-CMP.
