Detection and Prognostic Significance of Myocardial Damage Visualized by Delayed-Enhancement Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance in Patients With Sarcoidosis
The primary objective of this study was to determine the ability of cardiac magnetic
resonance (CMR) to identify cardiac involvement in patients with sarcoidosis. Patients were
to undergo CMR in addition to routine clinical evaluation.
resonance (CMR) to identify cardiac involvement in patients with sarcoidosis. Patients were
to undergo CMR in addition to routine clinical evaluation.
In patients with sarcoidosis, cardiac death is a leading cause of mortality which may
represent unrecognized cardiac involvement. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can
detect cardiac involvement including minute amounts of myocardial damage. Therefore, the
objective of this study was to determine the usefulness of CMR and compare it with standard
clinical evaluation for cardiac involvement. Patients with documented extracardiac
sarcoidosis or clinically suspected cardiac sarcoidosis will be enrolled.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Biopsy proven sarcoidosis
