We report the case of a patient with sarcoidosis and ventricular tachycardia in whom cardiac magnetic resonance imaging provided supportive evidence of cardiac involvement by delineating regions of myocardial inflammation and fibrosis inconsistent with ischemic injury. The identification of cardiac involvement in patients with sarcoidosis is problematic, and the true incidence is unknown. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging may help establish the actual incidence of cardiac involvement and allow further advances in monitoring and treatment options.
我们报告了一例患有结节病和室性心动过速的患者,心脏磁共振成像通过描绘与缺血性损伤不符的心肌炎症和纤维化区域,为心脏受累提供了支持性证据。结节病患者心脏受累的识别存在问题,其真实发病率尚不清楚。心脏磁共振成像可能有助于确定心脏受累的实际发病率,并推动监测和治疗方案的进一步发展。
