Abstract

The study was designed to assess the accuracy of contrast-enhanced balanced steady-state free precession (cine-SSFP) CMR imaging sequences to exhibit myocardial hyperemia in acute myocarditis, which has for a long time been investigated in some centers using early gadolinium enhancement (EGE) sequence. Contrast-enhanced cine-SSFP (CESSFP) sequences were compared to precontrast cine-SSFP sequences to calculate the early cine-contrast enhancement in 36 consecutive patients with acute myocarditis and 36 controls matched for age and gender. Four-chamber views images were obtained in each subject before and after gadolinium injection. Absolute and relative left ventricular myocardial enhancement of the overall myocardium, then separately of the lateral wall and interventricular septum was analyzed in telediastole. Myocarditis patients displayed higher cine-SSFP absolute enhancement than controls (overall left ventricular myocardium 2.38 ± 0.33 vs 1.84 ± 0.31; lateral wall 2.45 ± 0.35 vs 1.83 ± 0.32; and septum 2.26 ± 0.29 vs 1.82 ± 0.29, p < 0.0001 for all). Less significant differences were observed for the relative enhancement (p < 0.05 for all). Using ROC curves, the optimal threshold value of absolute enhancement to diagnose acute myocarditis was 2.05 (sensitivity: 86%; specificity: 81%). Given the simplicity of use, contrast-enhanced cine-SSFP sequences should be used as an additional diagnostic tool to detect hyperemia in acute myocarditis patients.
