Abstract
Myocarditis encompasses a wide range of myocardial inflammatory diseases, including acute myocarditis, chronic myocarditis and inflammatory cardiomyopathies, and myocardial inflammation associated with other cardiomyopathies. Because of this heterogeneity in clinical presentation, and the infrequent use of endomyocardial biopsy, cardiac imaging has gradually acquired a key role in the non-invasive detection of myocardial inflammation, the assessment of aetiology and the management of specific therapies. This article summarizes the issue of myocarditis and myocardial inflammation in clinical practice, and reviews the role of different non-invasive imaging techniques in the exploration of myocardial inflammation.Entities:
