Cytokine Signaling and Matrix Remodeling Pathways Associated with Cardiac Sarcoidosis Disease Activity Defined Using FDG PET Imaging

چکیده
While cardiac imaging has improved the diagnosis and risk assessment for sarcoidosis (CS), treatment regimens have consisted of generalized heart failure therapies non-specific anti-inflammatory regimens. The overall goal this study was to perform high-sensitivity plasma profiling specific inflammatory pathways in patients with CS.

Sarcoidosis mimicking lymphoma on FDG-PET imaging
Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory, systemic disease characterized by noncaseating granulomas. We describe a case of a 52-year-old female who presented with fevers, chills, night sweats, and weight loss of four months' duration. Lymphoma was suspected, and results of advanced imaging procedures were also consistent with lymphoma. However, mediastinal lymph-node biopsy, bone-marrow aspiration, and b...
متن کاملScar sarcoidosis on 18F-FDG PET/CT
18F-labeled fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) is an important imaging modality in the clinical workup of patients with chronic inflammatory disorders which present quite often with a fever of unknown origin. Sarcoidosis is a multisystem chronic inflammatory disorder with a wide clinical spectrum that can involve different organs. The diagno...
متن کاملThe Evaluation of Cardiac Sarcoidosis with 18F-FDG PET.
Cardiac involvement in sarcoidosis is associated with poor prognosis. (18)F-FDG PET can detect the presence of cardiac sarcoidosis, assess disease activity, and serve as a means to monitor treatment response in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis.
متن کاملIdentification of Cardiac Sarcoidosis with N-NH3/F-FDG PET
To our knowledge, no study investigating the usefulness of cardiac PET for detection of myocardial involvement of sarcoidosis is available. We investigated whether N-NH3/F-FDG PET could identify cardiac involvement in patients with sarcoidosis. Methods: Seventeen patients with cardiac sarcoidosis underwent cardiac N-NH3/F-FDG PET under fasting condition. Systemic sarcoidosis was diagnosed by hi...
متن کاملCardiac MRI and FDG-PET in the diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis
Methods 30 patients meeting Japanese Ministry of Health & Welfare guidelines [2] for clinical cardiac sarcoidosis were investigated with FDG-PET CT (Gemini TF Philips) and CMRI (Aera 1.5T Siemens) on the same day. Patients undergoing FDG-PET followed a 24 hour low-carbohydrate diet and overnight fast [3]. CMRI examination included SSFP assessment of left ventricular (LV) function, short axis T2...
