Abstract
Purposeof review: Cardiac sarcoidosis is an inflammatory condition that has been associated with deleterious cardiac manifestations. The diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis is challenging and can be guided by advanced cardiac imaging.
Recent findings: Endomyocardial biopsy lacks sensitivity in confirming a diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis. Studies have shown that the use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cardiac Positron Emission Testing (PET) are associated with increased sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis. Cardiac MRI and cardiac PET CT, although distinct entities, are complimentary in the diagnosis, prognostication of major cardiac events, and aid in the treatment algorithm in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis.
期刊介绍：
The aim of this journal is to provide timely perspectives from experts on current advances in cardiovascular medicine. We also seek to provide reviews that highlight the most important recently published papers selected from the wealth of available cardiovascular literature.
We accomplish this aim by appointing key authorities in major subject areas across the discipline. Section editors select topics to be reviewed by leading experts who emphasize recent developments and highlight important papers published over the past year. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field.
