Why the study?

Does MRI-detected delayed enhancement identify the risk of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis and preserved or mildly reduced left ventricular function?

Population

Patients with cardiac sarcoidosis and preserved or mildly reduced left ventricular function

Comparison

Magnetic Resonance Imaging to assess for delayed… vs Patients without delayed enhancement (DE) on MRI

Design

Cohort

Authors

TCThomas CrawfordElectrophysiology GMGisela C. MuellerJohns Hopkins University SSSinan SarsamSouthwest Medical University

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

RV DE on MRI may refine VT risk stratification in cardiac sarcoidosis with preserved LVEF; leaves open prospective validation before guiding therapy.
