Sarcoidosis of the myocardium, an illness occurring predominantly in young adults,
frequently becomes clinically apparent when the disease is far advanced. Since the thallium …

Thallium 201 myocardial perfusion scanning revealed focal left ventricular defects at rest in
four of 30 patients (13 percent) with systemic sarcoidosis. All the defects decreased in size …

We have described three patients with clinical evidence of myocardial sarcoidosis to
illustrate the utility of thallium-201 scintigraphy in demonstrating the myocardial lesions. Both …

Cardiac dysfunction due to systemic sarcoidosis is most often due to severe restrictive
pulmonary disease. Although the diagnosis is frequently missed during life, direct …

The authors studied 75 nonselected patients (30 men and 45 women; mean age 48 years)
with sarcoidosis retrospectively to assess the applicability of nuclear examinations for …

Whereas the total mortality rate for sarcoidosis is 0.2 per 100,000, the prognosis, when the
heart is involved, is very much worse. The authors used the difference in mortality rate to …

Echocardiographic evaluation of 42 patients with sarcoidosis disclosed 13 patients (group
A) with abnormalities compatible with sarcoid heart involvement such as thickening or …

Left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) involvement in sarcoidosis must be firmly
confirmed to determine patients' prognosis. We examined whether myocardial perfusion …

Among 80 patients with tissue-confirmed sarcoidosis attending the sarcoidosis clinic of the
Mount Sinai Hospital, electrocardiographic abnormalities of varying degree were noted in 41 …
