Clinical and magnetic resonance evolution of “infarct-like” myocarditis

Abstract: Patients diagnosed with "infarct-like" myocarditis, according to both clinical and CMR examinations may look forward to a positive evolution with a good prognosis.

“…However, this fibrosis was too discrete to be seen using ECHO (without deformation analysis). Specific LGE distribution, related to infarct-like myocarditis in the left ventricular lateral wall, is commonly described in the literature; on the other hand, the interventricular septum is affected in patients with chronic myocarditis [12,13]. Bicycle ergometry after infarct-like myocarditis was considered an examination suitable for the evaluation of physical load tolerance and load arrhythmia occurrence.…”

“…Apart from the above-mentioned studies, there have been many published works dealing with the prognosis of myocarditis patients based on their initial clinical presentation (i.e., ECG, ECHO or MRI results). Several studies [13][14][15] have shown that infarct-like myocarditis, with normal or early normalized systolic function, often has a good prognosis.…”

“…The above-mentioned tissue characterization criteria are evaluated in parallel to the cardiac structure and function with cine imaging for the presence of LV dysfunction with regional or global systolic disfunction and pericardial effusion which were considered supportive criteria, neither necessary nor sufficient for diagnosis. In patients with infarct-like myocarditis the systolic function is often preserved and the presence of segmental kinetics alterations are rare[ 23 ]. The use of advanced techniques for the analysis of myocardial deformation such as CMR feature tracking technique has been reporting promising results and could identify even subclinical myocardial dysfunction[ 24 ], but requires further confirmation in larger and prospective studies[ 25 ] in order to establish its diagnostic and prognostic role.…”

“…The prognosis of patients with “infarct-like” myocarditis is dubious: Some authors[ 30 ] reported an association between the infarct-like pattern and major cardiovascular events, while others[ 23 ] stated a positive evolution with a good prognosis. However, the presence of LV dysfunction at baseline and of LGE predicts patients at high risk of adverse events[ 31 ].…”

“…Dans certaines institutions avec un accès immédiat à la technique, l’IRM peut éviter une angiographie coronaire invasive chez les jeunes patients sans facteurs de risque athéroscléreux, présentant des antécédents infectieux récents compatibles avec une myocardite aiguë, et sans sus-décalage du ST à l’ECG. Cliniquement, une myocardite aiguë peut se manifester chez les jeunes adultes par une douleur thoracique typique avec élévation de la troponine et sus-décalage de l'ST, surtout chez l’homme [9] , [10] . En cas de sus-décalage du ST, il faut réaliser une coronarographie en urgence en vue d’une éventuelle angioplastie directe.…”
