Myocarditis is a cardiac disease characterized by inflammation of myocardial tissue. Despite clear definition, diagnosis and therapy of myocarditis remain a problem in clinical practice. In this paper, the role of non-invasive cardiac imaging techniques in identifying patients with acute and chronic myocarditis is reviewed.
