Core Tip

Core tip: This review aims to explore the frontiers of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related myocarditis as assessed by Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and compare the similarities and differences in CMR signs between COVID-19-related myocarditis and myocarditis related to other viral infections. COVID-19-related myocarditis is different from myocarditis related to other viral infections in SI and lesion location as assessed by CMR. The Lake Louise Consensus Criteria are not fully applicable to COVID-19-related myocarditis. CMR is expected to visualize myocardial damage, locate lesions and quantify pathological changes based on various sequences with the benefit of staged diagnosis and treatment in COVID-19-related myocarditis.
