Detection of acute myocarditis using T1 and T2 mapping cardiovascular magnetic resonance: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study was aimed to systematically review the existing literature and explore more the diagnostic value of T1 and T2 mapping in acute myocarditis.

Methods

Studies were searched from five electronic databases. Sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and summary receiver operating characteristic curves (SROC) were calculated to present diagnostic performance. A meta-regression and subgroup analysis was performed based on validation (endomyocardial biopsy [EMB] vs. clinical criteria).

Results

A total of 10 studies were included, with 400 myocarditis patients and 266 controls. Native T1, T2, and extracellular volume (ECV) values were significantly increased in the myocarditis group. Pooled sensitivities for T1, T2 mapping, and ECV were 0.84 (
