Best Practice Case Studies-Viral Myocarditis

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Jonathan Lu, a cardiovascular radiology fellow at Stanford, presents cases involving heart conditions. A 19-year-old athlete showed slight right ventricle dilation, suspected of viral myocarditis. A 22-year-old with similar viral symptoms exhibited myocardial edema and patchy delayed gadolinium enhancement noted on imaging, indicating potential cardiac inflammation. Another patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy displayed significant thickening of the intraventricular septum and gadolinium enhancement at the right ventricle insertion points, typical of this condition. These cases highlight the use of advanced imaging techniques in diagnosing diverse cardiac pathologies.
