Persistent FDG Uptake at Apical Aneurysm in a Patient With Cardiac Sarcoidosis

We present a case of cardiac sarcoidosis with persistent, focal fluorodeoxyglucose uptake at the left ventricular apical aneurysm concerning for ongoing active inflammatory injury, prompting aggressive immunosuppressive therapy. This case highlights the importance of understanding the various clinic...
