PET/CT Case Series: Unmasking the Mystery of Cardiac Sarcoidosis

The annual incidence of cardiac sarcoidosis is low, but increased awareness of this inflammatory condition has led to earlier disease recognition. High mortality rates compel prompt diagnosis and intervention to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiac events. This cardiac sarcoid PET/CT case series provides information on cardiac sarcoid features, reviews advanced imaging and its role in treatment monitoring, examines the importance of dietary modifications required for ¹⁸F-FDG cardiac sarcoid imaging and the associated consequences of noncompliant patient preparation, and provides an in-depth review of a patient's cardiac sarcoid journey.
