Typical cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) phenotypes in eosinophilic myocarditis (EM). A Marked pericardial effusion on cine images (arrows). B Septal and inferolateral mid-wall/subepicardial (myocarditis-like) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) (arrows). C Thickened edematous left ventricular (LV) walls due to severe inflammation on cine images (asterisks). Bi-ventricular apical thrombosis on cine images (D) and subendocardial LGE (E) (arrows). F T2 map showing elevated values (70–80 ms) in septal regions. Patient (D–F) suffered aborted sudden cardiac death and transient ischemic attack during hospitalization but recovered with mechanical circulatory support, corticosteroids and implantable cardioverter defibrillator. G, H, I Examples of subendocardial LGE in the LV
