High mass (> 18 g) of late gadolinium enhancement on CMR imaging is associated with major cardiac events on long-term outcome in patients with biopsy-proven extracardiac sarcoidosis

Abstract Background Cardiac involvement is the most important cause of mortality in patients with systemic sarcoidosis. Late Gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has been shown to be a predictor of major cardiovascular adverse events (MACE) in the setting o...
