Figura 1. – ECG na hospitalização demonstrando supradesnivelamento difuso do segmento ST côncavo (figura 1A) e ECG aos 3 meses de seguimento mostrando resolução das anormalidades do segmento ST (figura 1B).
Figura 2
Figura 2. – Ressonância magnética cardíaca (RMC) na hospitalização demonstrando realce tardio de gadolínio subepicárdico nas paredes médio-anterior, lateral e inferior (figura 2A), e aumento de T1 (figura 2B) e T2 (figura 2C) nativos. A RMC aos 3 meses de seguimento revelou melhora no padrão subepicárdico de realce tardio de gadolínio (figura 2D) e normalização do T1 (figura 2E) e T2 (figura 2F) nativos.

Figure 1. – ECG at admission demonstrating diffuse concave ST-segment elevation (figure 1A) and ECG at three months of follow-up showing resolution of ST-segment abnormalities (figure 1B).
Figure 2
Figure 2. – Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) at admission demonstrating subepicardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in the mid anterior, lateral and inferior walls (figure 2A), and increased native T1 (figure 2B) and T2 (figure 2C). The CMR at three months of follow-up revealed improvement in the subepicardial late gadolinium enhancement pattern (figure 2D), and normalization of native T1 (figure 2E) and T2 (figure 2F).
