Patients with advanced cardiac sarcoidosis may have “burnt out” disease with no (or little) FDG uptake. Such patients are more likely to have left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Patients with large amount of scar and reduced ejection fraction are less likely to have an improvement in ejection fraction following immunosuppressive therapy. 7. When interpreting FDG PET studies, it is essential to also acquire and interpret whole body FDG data in order to identify if there is any active extra cardiac disease.
9] Supported by Demeure et al. [8] Supported by Cheng et al. [7] Suggest at least 18 h fast Supported by Morooka et al. [15] Inferior to HFLC diet or LC diet followed by fast [7, 8] Dose 50 IU/kg used in some studies, but lower doses may also be effective (avoid administering in dextrose); inferior to long term fasting [15] followed by a fast resulted in greater reduction in SUV (versus a controlled group of patients following an unrestricted diet) than a high fat low carbohydrate diet in which patients also drank a 250 cc beverage of mostly non-saturated fat 1 h prior to FDG injection [7].
