On the basis of available research and expert consensus, diagnostic CMR criteria have been proposed (Lake Louise Criteria) 16 that are also part of societal publications17, 18 and include CMR criteria for hyperemia, edema, and necrosis (Table 1). If 2 of 3 criteria are positive, the CMR scan is indicative of active myocarditis. 16 Although more research is required to assess the use of each of the parameters in various clinical settings (clinically acute versus chronic, mild versus moderate, diffuse versus regional) and the effect of the use of CMR in myocarditis on outcomes has not been prospectively studied, the current approach allows for a robust assessment of the extent of injury and dysfunction in clinically acute scenarios. Of note, the presence of necrosis or scar is a strong predictor of prognosis in patients with myocarditis. 14
