Magnetic resonance imaging for identifying patients with cardiac sarcoidosis and preserved or mildly reduced left ventricular function at risk of ventricular arrhythmias.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess whether delayed enhancement (DE) on MRI is associated with ventricular tachycardia (VT)/ventricular fibrillation or death in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis and left ventricular ejection fraction >35%. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifty-one patients with cardiac sarcoidosis and left ventricular ejection fraction >35% underwent DE-MRI. DE was assesse...
متن کاملIncessant left ventricular tachycardia of unusual etiology
Apart from Coronary artery disease, left ventricular tachycardia may result from cardiac sarcoidosis, left ventricular tumor, chagas disease and idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia. We report a rare case of incessant left ventricular tachycardia resulting from left dominant arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.
متن کاملThe utility of delayed-enhancement and t2-weighted cardiovascular mri for predicting clinical outcomes in patients at high risk for cardiac sarcoidosis
Methods Patients referred for cardiac MRI (CMR) from 01/01/ 2003 to 12/31/2009 in our institution, and who had biopsy proven sarcoidosis without concomitant coronary artery disease, were included. Patients were classified as presenting with a major rhythmic disturbance (MRD) if the referral for cardiac MRI was prompted by high grade atrio-ventricular block, sustained ventricular tachycardia or ...
متن کاملDual AV Nodal Nonreentrant Tachycardia Resulting in Inappropriate ICD Therapy in a Patient with Cardiac Sarcoidosis
Dual atrioventricular nodal nonreentrant tachycardia (DAVNNT) occurs due to concurrent antegrade conduction over fast and slow atrioventricular nodal pathways and is treated by slow pathway modification. We describe a unique case of a patient with cardiac sarcoidosis who received inappropriate ICD shocks for DAVNNT. Atrial and ventricular device electrograms satisfied both rate and V>A criteria...
متن کاملVentricular Tachycardia Storm in Cardiac Sarcoidosis: A 76-Day-ICU-Nightmare
Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) is a life threatening complication in a patient with Cardiac Sarcoidosis. The management becomes extremely challenging when it is refractory to traditional anti-arrhythmic drugs. Herein, we describe a case where a 33-year-old patient with VT storm, with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), was managed by medications, sedation, ventilator support and mult...
