FDG-PET in possible cardiac sarcoidosis: Right ventricular uptake and high total cardiac metabolic activity predict cardiovascular events

BACKGROUND: Cardiac involvement accounts for the majority of morbidity and mortality in sarcoidosis. Pathological myocardial fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-uptake in positron emission tomography (PET) has been associated with cardiovascular events and quantitative metabolic parameters have been shown to a...
