Advanced Imaging in the Diagnosis of Cardiac Sarcoid and LV Noncompaction

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: A 60-year-old man with a history of heart failure received a diagnosis of left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) and cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance defined the contribution of each uncommon condition to his heart failure. This case illustrates the role of imaging to aid diagnosis in the rare concurrence of LVNC and CS.
