简介
Objectives
The purpose of this study was to explore the diagnostic usefulness of hybrid cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and positron emission tomography (PET) using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) for active cardiac sarcoidosis.
Background
Active cardiac sarcoidosis (aCS) is underdiagnosed and has a high mortality.
Methods
Patients with clinical suspicion of aCS underwent hybrid CMR/PET with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and FDG to assess the pattern of injury and disease activity, respectively. Patients were categorized visually as magnetic resonance (MR)+PET+ (characteristic LGE aligning exactly with increased FDG uptake), MR+PET− (characteristic LGE but no increased FDG), MR−PET− (neither characteristic LGE nor increased FDG), and MR−PET+ (increased FDG uptake in absence of characteristic LGE) and further characterized as aCS+ (MR+PET+) or aCS− (MR+PET−, MR−PET−, MR …
