From: Sub-clinical systolic dysfunction with persistent myocardial edema and inflammation in elite high-endurance athletes with common colds: a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study

Figure 1

Reduced contractile function in an elite professional swimmer with a common cold (LVEF cold 47%, LVEF baseline 54%) (A, B). Visually apparent increased early enhancement post-contrast in T1-weighted images (C, D) suggestive of myocardial inflammation, with an early enhancement ratio of 5.7. Evidence of global myocardial edema (E, ratio 2.6).
