Giant cell myocarditis (GCM) is an inflammatory cardiomyopathy akin to cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). We decided to study the findings of GCM on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and to compare GCM with CS. CMR studies of 18 GCM patients were analyzed and compared with 18 CS controls matched for age, sex, left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction and presenting cardiac manifestations. The analysts were blinded to clinical data. On admission, the duration of symptoms (median) was 0.2 months in GCM vs. 2.4 months in CS (P = 0.002), cardiac troponin T was elevated (>50 ng/L) in 16/17 patients with GCM and in 2/16 with CS (P < 0.001), their respective median plasma B-type natriuretic propeptides measuring 4488 ng/L and 1223 ng/L (P = 0.011). On CMR imaging, LV diastolic volume was smaller in GCM (177 ± 32 mL vs. 211 ± 58 mL, P = 0.014) without other volumetric or wall thickness measurements differing between the groups. Every GCM patient had multifocal late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in a distribution indistinguishable from CS both longitudinally, circumferentially, and radially across the LV segments. LGE mass averaged 17.4 ± 6.3% of LV mass in GCM vs 25.0 ± 13.4% in CS (P = 0.037). Involvement of insertion points extending across the septum into the right ventricular wall, the “hook sign” of CS, was present in 53% of GCM and 50% of CS. In GCM, CMR findings are qualitatively indistinguishable from CS despite myocardial inflammation being clinically more acute and injurious. When matched for LV dysfunction and presenting features, LV size and LGE mass are smaller in GCM. Summary of myocardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) by cardiac magnetic resonance in giant cell myocarditis (GCM) and cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). GCM and CS have indistinguishable LGE distribution but, for matched LV dysfunction, the quantity of LGE is lower in GCM.
