BackgroundBoth acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and acute myocarditis are characterised by cardiac troponin release as a marker of cardiomyocyte injury. While peak troponin is widely accepted as a surrogate marker for infarct size in AMI, its relationship with myocardial injury in acute myocarditis is unclear. This study aimed to quantify and compare the association between peak high-sensitivity cardiac troponin and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) exten...
