Abstract

We report a case of acute myocarditis in a 20-year-old male, suggested by the clinical picture, elevated cardiac enzymes, electrocardiography and serology. Diagnosis was confirmed by gadolinium-enhanced MRI showing part of the myocardium affected by an infiltrate. Impaired LV function and wall motion abnormalities were documented by echocardiography and FFE MRI. The patient recovered well within two weeks, but will be followed intensively since dilated cardiomyopathy may ensue.
