Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Assessment of the Risk of Sudden Death in Cardiac Sarcoidosis: What Is Extensive or Significant Late Gadolinium Enhancement?
In cardiac sarcoidosis, myocardial LGE making up ≥9.9% of LV mass or affecting ≥6 LV segments may suggest prognostically significant LV involvement and a high risk of SCD. However, prospective validation of the thresholds is needed.
