From: Patients with exercise-associated ventricular ectopy present evidence of myocarditis
An exemplary T2-weighted (STIR) image of a 57Â year old female patient with a viral respiratory viral infection 3Â weeks ago and exercise induced PVBs. Globally enhanced signal intensity of the myocardium of the left ventricle (arrows) compared to skeletal muscle. The ratio of signal intensity between myocardial and skeletal muscle was elevated (2.26). LV: Left ventricle. RV: Right ventricle. SM: Skeletal muscle
