case_images: Electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed sinus rhythm with Q waves in V1-V3 (Figure 1). Out of concern for infiltrative or inflammatory processes, he underwent a cardiac MRI on hospital day 5 which showed that his left ventricular systolic function had improved, with an ejection fraction of 55% and no evidence of delayed gadolinium enhancement (Figure 2A, Figure 2B, Video 1).
case_images: Cardiac MRI through the four-chamber view. Panel A shows a steady-state free precession frame in systole demonstrating normal left ventricular systolic function. Panel B demonstrates the corresponding phase-sensitive inversion recovery sequence showing a normal left ventricle with no evidence of late gadolinium enhancement
