Advanced imaging of cardiac sarcoidosis.
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Cardiac involvement may occur, leading to an adverse outcome. Although early treatment to improve morbidity and mortality is desirable, sensitive and accurate detection of cardiac sarcoidosis remains a challenge. Accordingly, interest in the use of advanced imaging such as cardiac MR and PET with (18)F-FDG is increasing in ord...
متن کاملTissue Doppler imaging in cardiac sarcoidosis.
A middle-aged African lady, who presented with ventricular tachycardias, mitral valve regurgitation and congestive heart failure, was diagnosed with cardiac sarcoidosis. Tissue Doppler imaging demonstrated abnormalities suggestive of myocardial scar, which was confirmed by contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance.

ably greater than, the efficacy of the exercise tolerance test. Furthermore, for assessing ventricular function, the radionuclide ventriculogram is comparable to the more invasive ventricular angiogram. Before imaging techniques are widely applied to individuals with suspected or established cardiac disease, however, several important questions need to be answered. First, their performance in n...

pensity for physiological myocardial 18F-FDG uptake.8 This being the case, JSNC recommendations based on recent studies have suggested preparation involving long fasting and diet modification prior to 18F-FDG PET studies.5,9 Given the challenges associated with 18F-FDG preparation, alternative diagnostic approaches for CS are being sought. In this issue of the Journal, Momose et al assess the d...
