[Abstract] Background : Different cardiac manifestations/events have been reported in patients with sarcoidosis ; however, factors related to the onsetof manifestations in cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) remain unclear. Late gadolinium-enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) has been used to detect myocardial damage/fibrosis. Therefore, we examined the characteristics of clinical manifestations in CS patients using LGE-CMR. Methods : Thirty-three consecutive CS patients underwent CMR. According to the mural location of LGE ; mid-wall, epicardial, or transmural, the LGE pattern was classified into three groups : A : LGE existing at one location only, B: LGE at any two locations, C : LGE at all locations. CMR findings were also analyzed in relation to each clinical manifestation. Results : Myocardial damage was detected by LGE imaging in 91% of the patients and was most frequently observed in the basal septal myocardium. %LGE area was negatively correlated with LV ejection fraction (EF) (P |
