This case report highlights the benefits of CMR with oedema-weighted imaging in the acute stages of MINOCA syndrome, as well as the importance of serial imaging in this patient cohort. While baseline imaging raised the possibility of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, resolution of apical hypertrophy on follow-up CMR showed that the patient had acute myocarditis, specifically involving the apical segments.
