Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

PET/MRI

PET/MRI: PET/MRI is a new-generation hybrid camera capable of simultaneously performing FDG positron emission tomography and gadolinium-injected MRI. PET/MRI could be a relevant prognostic marker of progression, and could significantly improve diagnostic performance in patients with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis.

Study summary

Cardiac damage is the second leading cause of death in patients with sarcoidosis, after lung damage. Today's challenge is to diagnose the disease as effectively as possible, and to develop tools for better risk stratification, especially for sudden death, in order to better target therapies and implantable devices, such as corticoids and immunosuppressant.

The hypothesis is that combined PET (Positron Emission Tomography)/MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) could be a relevant prognostic marker of progression, and would significantly improve diagnostic performance in patients with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). This study will also make it possible to distinguish sequellar fibrosis lesions from granulomatous lesions and assess the therapeutic response. Incorporating PET/MRI into the diagnostic strategy for patients with suspected CS could therefore improve their management.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Occurrence of a severe cardiological event — Up to 24 months
    Occurrence during follow-up of at least one of the severe cardiological events listed below attributed to sarcoidosis, assessed at 24 months: * Death from cardiac causes. * Placement of an automatic implantable defibrillator or pacemaker. * Conduction disorder (Mobitz type 2 atrioventricular block (AVB), AVB 3, ventricular arrhythmia (ventricular mono/polymorphic complexes \> 1000 per 24 h, ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation), unexplained sustained VT). * Degradation of cardiac function of more than 10% of LVEF assessed by transthoracic (TTE) or cardiac MRI. * Acute heart failure with no other known cause
