Challenge yourself with our Myocarditis and Cardiac Injury Case Review from Dr. Kate Hanneman!

Join Dr. Kate Hanneman (Toronto General Hospital & University of Toronto) as she reviews a series of cardiac MRI cases from patients with myocarditis following COVID vaccination or SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19). Read alongside her as she provides essential interpretation pearls and pitfalls on these cases, which will help you gain confidence in making these decisions in your own practice.

Listen to her advice on the most helpful imaging studies (MRI and echocardiography) to use & when to use them, potential mechanisms of COVID-19 related myocardial injury, and key features of acute, subacute, and healed myocarditis. Dr. Hanneman also includes helpful breakdowns of working case definitions to diagnose / confirm probable myocarditis or pericarditis, and incidence, clinical course, and cardiac imaging tips for myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccination.

Watch as Dr. Hanneman walks through 5 cases of viral myocarditis, COVID myocarditis, and post vaccine myocarditis and outlines cardiac MR findings, key teaching points, and some best practices for imaging rationale, indications, optimal imaging protocols, and reporting.

Case Review Overview

Expert Case Reviews offer a high yield, case-focused learning module that will help you gain confidence interpreting advanced imaging cases. 

Read alongside Radiology mentors who want to help you fine-tune your search patterns and work through your list of differential diagnoses. 

How to navigate each Case topic:

• Read alongside Dr. Hanneman – Keep the key images and videos open while you watch Dr. Hanneman review the case. We suggest popping them open in a new window and viewing side by side with the video on your screen.
• Review at your own pace – Utilize the video player features to pause, rewind, and slow down the video to work through the case at your own pace.

After you’re done, check out these additional Cardiac Mastery Courses for further in-depth case review:

• Fundamentals of Cardiac MRI
• Cardiac MRI of Non-Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
• Chest Radiograph Approach to Acquired Cardiac Disease

Course materials were developed from Dr. Hanneman’s Noon Conference webinar in August 2022. The recorded session has been converted into this on-demand, microlearning Radiology CME Course that you can work through on your own time!
