    Differentiating acute non-ST elevation myocardial infarction from acute myocarditis is clinically challenging due to similar presentations.

  • 2

    Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is the reference technique for non-invasive myocardial tissue characterization.

  • 3

    Parametric T1 and T2 mapping techniques enhance the detection of diffuse myocardial pathologies compared to conventional CMR methods.

  • 4

    The study aimed to assess whether parametric CMR techniques can visually differentiate ischemic from non-ischemic myocardial injury.

  • 5

    A total of 60 subjects were included, comprising patients with NSTEMI, myocarditis, and a control group of healthy individuals.
