Cine cardiac magnetic resonance images showing a 3-chamber view of the left ventricle in end diastole (a) and in end systole (b) demonstrating a circumferential mid-ventricle hypokinesia with greater intensity in the anteroseptal segment (arrows). (c) image shows late gadolinium enhancement sequence showing a 4-chamber view of the heart without any sign of myocardial fibrosis. (d) Cine cardiac magnetic resonance sequence demonstrating diffuse pericardium effusion of moderate intensity (arrows). (e) Short-tau inversion-recovery (STIR) sequence, a T2-weighted sequence used to assess myocardial edema, demonstrating the presence of hypersignal in the middle segments of the anterior, septal and lateral walls (arrows) which indicates the presence of myocardial edema in these segments
