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.Key words
