Table 2 Lake Louise consensus criteria for myocarditis on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
Two out of three criteria must be met to be consistent with myocardial inflammation:
Regional or global myocardial signal intensity increase in T2-weighted images
Increased global myocardial early gadolinium enhancement ratio between myocardium and skeletal muscle in gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted images
At least one focal lesion with nonischaemic regional distribution in inversion recovery-prepared gadolinium enhanced T1-weighted images (late gadolinium enhancement)
