Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images and electrocardiograms at the time of diagnosis. Panel A and B: CMR image from Patient 1 and 2 respectively showing delayed hyperenhancement in the lateral epicardium (A, arrowheads) and in the pericardium and epicardial surface of the anterior and lateral wall (B, arrowheads) consistent with myocarditis by the Lake Louise criteria. Panel C shows electrocardiogram from patient 1 (top) showing diffuse ST segment elevation and patient 2 (bottom) showing sinus rhythm with marked sinus arrhythmia and diffuse ST segment elevation (II, III, aVF, V5 and V6) and ST segment depressions in aVR and V1.
