Does cardiovascular magnetic resonance identify cardiac tissue changes in patients with systemic sarcoidosis?

Population

31 patients with proven systemic sarcoidosis, mean age 46 (SD 2) years, 19 men. 12 patients had evidence for cardiac involvement.

Intervention

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)

Outcome

Cardiac tissue changes (myocardial inflammation and scarring)surrogate

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance is being investigated to identify myocardial inflammation and scarring in patients with systemic sarcoidosis.
