Overview
Myocarditis presents with chest pain and ST segment elevation and must be distinguished from ST elevation myocardial infarction and pericarditis.
Differentiating Myocarditis from ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Both diseases presented with chest pain, elevated cardiac biomarkers, and focal left ventricular dysfunction. Myocardium.us can be distinguished from ST elevation in my own coronary angiography. ST elevation in my is obviously associated with occlusion or subtotal occlusion of and epicardial coronary artery. Cardiac magnetic resonance is useful in distinguishing between syndromes as well. On cardiac MRI, myocarditis is associated with actually, non-sentimental) enhancement which is confined to the layer of the myocardium. If MRI is performed in a patient with ST segment elevation in line, there is confluent) enhancement extending from the endocardi in a distribution that mimics the distribution of the epicardial coronary arteries.um
