Why the study?
Does speckle tracking echocardiography have diagnostic and predictive value in patients with suspicion of cardiac sarcoidosis?
Does speckle tracking echocardiography have diagnostic and predictive value in patients with suspicion of cardiac sarcoidosis?
Reduced LV and RV global longitudinal strain values have diagnostic and prognostic value in suspected cardiac sarcoidosis.
Speckle tracking echocardiography may aid diagnosis and risk stratification in suspected cardiac sarcoidosis; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Reduced strain values in the LV GLS and RV GLS can be used in the diagnostic algorithm in patients with suspicion of cardiac sarcoidosis. These values also correlate with adverse cardiovascular events.
