Limited association between septal myocardial involvement on PET imaging and conduction disturbance in cardiac sarcoidosis
Abstract
Conduction disturbances represent one of the earliest and most common manifestations of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). The Heart Rhythm Society 2014 expert consensus statement emphasizes that imaging evidence of septal involvement strongly supports the diagnosis of probable CS when combined with clinical findings.1 Positron emission tomography (PET) with fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has emerged as a critical tool for identifying active myocardial inflammation in patients with CS, whereas cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) excels at detecting myocardial fibrosis and structural abnormalities.
