Overview

Coronary angiography may be helpful in excluding either myocardial ischemia or infarction as the cause of ST segment elevation, elevated cardiac biomarkers, or left ventricular dysfunction.

Coronary Angiography

Since myocarditis present similar to MI with ECG changes(ST segment elevation) and elevated cardiac enzymes, coronary angiography may be valuable in excluding coronary disease as the cause of cardiac dysfunction.

Ventriculography may demonstrate decreased ejection fraction.

Elevated ventricular pressures may be noted in patients with systolic or diastolic dysfunction.

Gallium Scanning

Gallium scanning may be of value in demonstrating severe myocardial cellular infiltration.
