Norovirus is a rare cause of viral myocarditis presenting with acute chest pain and troponin elevation, requiring cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for accurate diagnosis.
Highlights the utility of cardiac magnetic resonance in diagnosing rare norovirus-induced viral myocarditis in patients presenting with acute chest pain and elevated troponin.
We present a rare case of viral myocarditis secondary to a rarely reported cause, norovirus. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with acute chest pain accompanied by troponin elevation. We discuss the significance of advanced imaging techniques, particularly cardiac magnetic resonance, in the diagnosis of this condition.
