Multimodal IVNC and Myocarditis CMR. (1A and 1C) Four-chamber and (1B and 1D) middle short-axis views. Subepicardial late gadolinium enhancement in cine T2- or T1-weighted images suggesting acute myocarditis (open circle). Double-layered myocardium with a thin compacted epicardial layer (open line) and a thicker noncompacted endocardial band (double arrows) consisting of trabecular recesses suggesting IVNC. Transthoracic-echocardiography. (2A and 2B) Noncompacted endocardial layer (double white-arrows) and compacted layer (white lines). (2C) Trabecular recesses deeply perfused in color Doppler (open arrows). Electrocardiogram. (3) Sinus tachycardia, Q-wave and T-wave inversion in V1 to V3 leads, left axis deviation. Chest radiography. (4) Bilateral consolidation and significant heart enlargement. CMR = cardiac magnetic resonance; IVNC = imaging of ventricular noncompaction.
