case_images: Cardiac MRI of patient C: (a) T2 map demonstrating increased T2 signal consistent with edema in epicardium of the apical lateral wall; (b) four-chamber view showing late gadolinium enhancement in the apical lateral wall; (c) ECV map showing increased signal consistent with edema in the midanterolateral segments; (d) short axis with late gadolinium enhancements in the midanterolateral segments.

case_images: He underwent cardiac MRI which showed a left ventricular ejection fraction of 56% and evidence of myocarditis with myocardial edema demonstrated on T2 mapping and myocardial injury with focal LGE in the basal inferior, mid- to distal lateral/inferolateral walls (Figure 1).

case_images: Patient D cardiac MRI: (a) T2 map demonstrating increased T2 signal consistent with edema in the epicardium of the apical lateral wall; (b-d) 3-chamber, 4-chamber, and apical short axis delayed images, respectively, demonstrating epicardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) corresponding to area of edema on T2 map.

case_images: Cardiac MRI was again consistent with myocarditis with LVEF of 56% and myocardial edema by T2 mapping and myocardial injury with focal LGE in the mid- to distal inferolateral and lateral walls (Figure 2).
