Examples of 6 patients referred to CMR for suspected myocarditis. LGE is marked with red asterisks. LGE images and short-axis slices were acquired in end-diastole (red contours). Blue contours represent the position of end-systolic contours. Strain overlays represent end-systolic peak strain, blue color mirrors more negative strain, while red color represents neutral or positive strain. CAD: coronary artery disease; EF: ejection fraction; GLS: global longitudinal strain; LV: left ventricle, RV: right ventricle
