Riassunto (Inglese)

Riassunto (Italiano)

This study evaluates the prognostic value of Lake Louise criteria (LLC) in acute myocarditis (AM). Patients diagnosed using the original LLC (edema at T2-STIR and late gadolinium enhancement) showed significantly worse outcomes compared to those diagnosed with mapping criteria. Midwall-septal/ring-like LGE pattern was confirmed as strong predictor of major cardiac events. Additionally, the number of positive LLC findings correlated with higher risk, indicating that more extensive CMR abnormalities require closer clinical monitoring. In contrast, mapping criteria alone did not predict adverse outcomes in stable AM patients.
