A case highly suspicious of isolated cardiac sarcoidosis
A 55-year-old Caucasian male without cardiac history presented with a broad-complex tachycardia of a right ventricular origin (Fig. 1a). After successful electrocardioversion, echocardiography and coronary angiogram showed no significant abnormalities. Electrophysiological examination suggested a right ventricular mid-septal origin of the arrythmia, closely to the HIS bundle. Cardiac MRI (Fig. ...
متن کاملThe prospective study of cardiac MRI in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac sarcoidosis associated with atrioventricular block
Background Sarcoidosis is systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Most patients present with pulmonary involvement, but association of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is critical factor determining prognosis. Recently, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and 18Ffluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) can detect cardiac lesions in asymptomatic sarcoidosis patie...
متن کاملAssessment of Cardiac Sarcoidosis with Advanced Imaging Modalities
Sarcoidosis is a chronic systemic disease of unknown etiology that is characterized by the presence of noncaseating epithelioid granulomas, usually in multiple organs. Several studies have shown that sarcoidosis might be the result of an exaggerated granulomatous reaction after exposure to unidentified antigens in genetically susceptible individuals. Cardiac involvement may occur and lead to an...
متن کاملPericardial sarcoidosis presenting as PUO diagnosed on FDG PET CT scan
Pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) is a common problem in day-to-day practice. FDG PET CT is an established investigation that aids in identifying the cause of PUO. Due to its high sensitivity PET detects an occult hypermetabolic focus in the body where CT helps in anatomical localization, vascularity, enhancement characteristics of the lesion detected on PET. It helps to differentiate benign vers...
متن کاملCardiovascular Hybrid Imaging using PET/MRI Kardiovaskuläre Hybridbildgebung mit PET/MRT
The following overview provides a summary of the state of the art and research as well as potential clinical applications of cardiovascular PET/MR imaging. PET/MRI systems have been clinically available for a few years, and their use in cardiac imaging has been successfully demonstrated. At this period in time, some of the technical difficulties that arose at the beginning have been solved; in ...
