- Abstract
The article reflects on non-invasive tissue characterization with cardiovascular magnetic resonance. The research examines a 15-year-old boy that was admitted with chest pain, and raised levels of Troponin 1 but with normal viral titres, which was treated for assumed myocarditis. It states that cardiovascular magnetic resonance demonstrated a dilated and impaired left ventricle, with an ejection fraction of 42 percent, and normal proximal coronary arteries.
