Background An international Consensus Group established the proposed cardiovascular MR (CMR) criteria for diagnosis of acute myocarditis (Lake Louise Criteria) in 2009, consisting of 3 tissue markers: irreversible tissue injury on late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) images, edema on T2 STIR images and hyperemia on early enhanced (EE) images. The purpose of this study was to test the variability betw...

Background Standard diagnostic CMR criteria for acute myocarditis have been proposed (ie Lake Louise criteria) based upon the any 2 of 3 approach which includes the presence of myocardial edema (T2), hyperemia/capillary leakage (early Gd enhancement: EGE) as well as fibrosis (late enhancement: LGE). However, there is a lack of prognostic data using these criteria. The aim of this study was to e...

Topical prostaglandin analogs, which have become first-line therapy in the medical management of glaucoma, have an excellent safety profile with regard to systemic side effects, but are associated with several ocular side effects.
