“…MRI alone cannot differentiate viral myocarditis from other causes of acute dilated cardiomyopathy. A mid-wall myocardial hyperenhancement pattern is the most frequent finding in both acute and chronic myocarditits, while a subepicardial distribution of lesions is reported only in patients with acute myocarditis [14,15] as predominantly seen in our case report.…”

Clinical myocardial involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus is rare. Lupus myocarditis is usually not detected until significant decrease in myocardial function becomes clinically evident. This case report describes MR imaging of lupus myocarditis that was used for diagnosis and follow up in a patient who declined cardiac biopsy. We also review the literature related to myocardial imaging by MRI.
