2D STE can help to set the diagnosis of AM in patients with acute chest pain with a normal coronary angiogram. The epicardial GCS can serve as a diagnostic factor for oedema in patients with early stage of AM. In patients presenting with signs of AM (oedema in CMR), the epicardial GCS is modified in comparison with a subgroup without oedema; therefore, this parameter could be used to improve the performance of ultrasound.
