چکیده

Background The presence of myocardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in patients with sarcoidosis is a powerful predictor of major adverse events (MAE: death, ventricular tachycardia, or appropriate ICD therapy). In this study, we aim to determine if the burden of LGE, left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) end-diastolic and end-systolic volume index (EDVi & ESVi) and ejection fraction (EF) can be used to improve risk stratification in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS).

Right ventricular involvement in cardiac sarcoidosis demonstrated with cardiac magnetic resonance

AIMS Cardiac involvement in sarcoidosis is reported in up to 30% of patients. Left ventricular involvement demonstrated by contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance has been well validated. We sought to determine the prevalence and distribution of right ventricular late gadolinium enhancement in patients diagnosed with pulmonary sarcoidosis. METHODS AND RESULTS We prospectively evaluated 8...

Prognosis of Myocardial Damage in Sarcoidosis Patients With Preserved Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction: Risk Stratification Using Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance.

BACKGROUND Cardiac sarcoidosis is associated with an increased risk of heart failure and sudden death, but its risk in patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction is unknown. Using cardiovascular magnetic resonance in patients with extracardiac sarcoidosis and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, we sought to (1) determine the prevalence of cardiac sarcoidosis or associa...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a Predictor of Survival Free of Life‐Threatening Arrhythmias and Transplantation in Cardiac Sarcoidosis

BACKGROUND Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging has a key role in today's diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis. We set out to investigate whether cardiac magnetic resonance imaging also helps predict outcome in cardiac sarcoidosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Our work involved 59 patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (38 female, mean age 46±10 years) seen at our hospital since February 2004 and followed up aft...

Risk stratification for major adverse cardiac events and ventricular tachyarrhythmias by cardiac MRI in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis

BACKGROUND The presence of myocardial fibrosis by cardiac MRI has prognostic value in cardiac sarcoidosis, and localisation may be equally relevant to clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVE We aimed to analyse cardiac damage and function in detail and explore the relationship with clinical outcomes in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis using cardiac MRI. METHODS We included 81 consecutive patients wit...

Right ventricle late gadolinium enhancement in cardiac sarcoidosis: a case series

Background Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease characterized by infiltration of tissues by non-caseating granulomas and cardiac disease associated with arrhythmias, conduction disturbances, heart failure and death. Previous case reports have described late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in the right ventricle (RV), however, this has been interpreted to be a rare feature of cardiac sarcoidosis. W...
