Abstract
|
|
|
|
The etiology and the progression of sarcoidosis remain unknown. However, cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is significantly associated with a poor prognosis due to the associated congestive heart failure, arrhythmias (such as an advanced atrioventricular block), and ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Novel imaging modalities are now available to detect CS lesions secondary to active inflammation, granuloma formation, and ?brotic changes. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) play essential roles in diagnosing and monitoring patients with confirmed or suspected CS. The following focused review will highlight the emerging role of non-invasive cardiac imaging techniques, including FDG PET/CT and CMR.
