Table 1 Diagnostic testing for reported case

Diagnostic test	Result
Hemoglobin	12.5 g/dL
WBC	6.9 × 10⁹/L
Kidney function and electrolytes	Within normal limits
Alkaline phosphatase	33 IU/L
Aspartate aminotransferase	42 IU/L
Lactate dehydrogenase	325 IU/L
Troponin I (at presentation)	6.23 ng/mL
Troponin I (6 h later)	13.2 ng/mL
ECG	ST depression in V1 and V2 with ST elevations in V5 and V6
TTE	EF of 40% with no regional wall motion abnormalities or pericardial fluid
CMR	Multiple areas of abnormal sub-epicardial and mid-myocardial contrast hyper enhancement involving the posterior, inferior and anterior walls of the left ventricle, the anterior wall of right ventricle and the inter-ventricular septum reflecting multifocal biventricular myocarditis

WBC: White blood cell count; ECG: Electrocardiogram; TTE: Transthoracic echocardiogram; CMR: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; EF: Ejection fraction.
