Results

Out of the study population of 76 patients, 45 were COVID 19-related myocarditis cases and the other 31 were cases of myocarditis from other causes. 

The median age of all patients was 42 (35 – 56.5) or approximately 42 years old. More than half were male patients and 40.8% were females.

There was a significant difference between the cardiac magnetic resonance imaging findings in patients diagnosed with COVID 19-related myocarditis and myocarditis from other causes (P<0.05). 

COVID19-related cases showed statistically higher late gadolinium enhancement in 11 out of 17 cardiac segments and higher presence of myocardial edema. Among COVID19 cases LVEF, RVEF were significantly higher and the LVEDV and RVEDV were significantly lower than those from other causes.
