Tissue characterisation capabilities are continuing to evolve and proving to be valuable in the non-invasive diagnosis of clinicallyheterogeneous manifestations of myocarditis. The authors investigate how cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging offers an increasingly reliable alternative to invasive biopsy for clinically-stable patients, and how this tool – with further longitudinal study – will improve the overall understanding of the natural course of myocarditis.

AbstractFor almost 20 years, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has been the reference standard for the non-invasive assessment of myocardial viability. Since the blood pool often appears equally bright as the enhanced scar regions, detection of subendocardial scar patterns can be challenging. Various novel LGE methods have been proposed that null or suppress the blood signal by employing additional magnetization preparation mechanisms. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of these dark-blood LGE methods, discussing the magnetization preparation schemes and findings in phantom, preclinical, and clinical studies. Finally, conclusions on the current evidence and limitations are drawn and new avenues for future research are discussed. Dark-blood LGE methods are a promising new tool for non-invasive assessment of myocardial viability. For a mainstream adoption of dark-blood LGE, however, clinical availability and ease of use are crucial.
