Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is characterized by nondilated left or right ventricle with
diastolic dysfunction. The restrictive cardiomyopathies are a heterogenous group of …

Background Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease characterized by significant clinical
heterogeneity. Although most frequently involving the lungs, sarcoidosis may affect any …

Background There is limited consensus regarding the relative diagnostic performance of
cardiac MRI and fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET for cardiac sarcoidosis. Purpose To perform …

This joint position paper illustrates the role and the correct use of echocardiography,

The prevalence of sarcoidosis-related cardiomyopathy is increasing. Sarcoidosis impacts
cardiac function through granulomatous infiltration of the heart, resulting in conduction …

Sarcoidosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology characterized by multi-
organ involvement. End-organ disease consists of granulomatous inflammation, which if left …

Sarcoidosis is a multi-system inflammatory disease characterized by the development of
inflammation and noncaseating granulomas that can involve nearly every organ system …
