ABSTRACT
Myocardial forms of infection and inflammation are highly heterogeneous in clinical course and presentation but associated with diagnostic and treatment uncertainty, high morbidity, mortality, and financial burden. Historically, these pathologies were diagnosed invasively with biopsy, surgical pathology, or explanted hearts. However, in the current era, the diagnosis has been aided by a variety of non-invasive imaging tools in the appropriate clinical presentation. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of the available imaging modalities for guiding the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cardiac infection and inflammation.
