    AbstractTo evaluate the diagnostic value of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in viral myocarditis by meta-analysis. PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI, China) Wanfang Databases were searched for clinical research literature on MRI diagnosis of viral myocarditis from the establishment of the database to March 1, 2020.The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) were analysed by Stata 15.0. Eight articles were included in the end. The results showed that the sensitivity, specificity, DOR, and area under the curve (AUC) SROCs were 94%, 75%, 45.24 and 0.88, respectively. Existing research have confirmed that cardiac MRI has high sensitivity (94%) and moderate specificity (75%) for viral myocarditis. The positive ratio of test in myocarditis group is 45.24 times higher than that in non-myocarditis group indicating the outstanding effect of diagnosis and discrimination. Key Words: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, Viral myocarditis, Systematic review, Meta-analysis.
