Why the study?
Does the activity of cardiac sarcoidosis correlate with the inducibility of ventricular tachycardia?
Does the activity of cardiac sarcoidosis correlate with the inducibility of ventricular tachycardia?
Inducibility of ventricular tachycardia in cardiac sarcoidosis is not associated with disease activity, and defibrillator implantation may be necessary to prevent arrhythmic events even when the disease is inactive.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
VT inducibility may persist after sarcoidosis suppression; leaves open whether disease activity predicts arrhythmic risk.
Mezaki et al. (2001) studied this question.
