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.
