(T2 and LGE imaging during follow-up): upper row—baseline; lower row—follow-up 10 weeks later. Complete normalization of increased T2 signal in septal and lateral myocardium accompanied by a slight decrease of LGE with the typical subepicardial predominance. Loss of edema signal in conjunct with decreased LGE signal suggests an end of the active inflammatory phase with ongoing repair in altered myocardium
