Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1. (A) Diffuse myocardial edema on T2-weighted CMR. (B) Diffuse non-ischemic pattern of late gadolinium enhancement on CMR. (C) Endomyocardial biopsy showed lymphocytic myocarditis. (D) Impella support with Impella RP in the right and Impella CP in the left ventricles respectively. (E) CMR at 6 months showed resolution of edema on T2 mapping. (F) Subepicardial LGE was evident on basal and mid-ventricular lateral walls. (G) Transthoracic echocardiogram at 6months showed normal left ventricular global longitudinal strain.
CMR = cardiac magnetic resonance; LGE = late gadolinium enhancement.
