The usefulness of delayed enhancement magnetic resonance imaging for diagnosis and evaluation of cardiac function in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis

Summary Objectives Cardiac involvement is an important prognostic factor in patients with sarcoidosis. We evaluated the usefulness of delayed enhancement MRI (DE-MRI) for diagnosing cardiac sarcoidosis by comparing with nuclear imaging and studying the correlation between DE area and left ventricula...
