Important multicenter study in #EHJ
#CMR outperforms societal recs for ICD placement in cardiac sarcoidosis
📈AUC=0.86 for 5-yr risk of fatal/life-threatening arrhythmias
⚡Highest risk = abnl LVEF + LGE that is multifocal, septal, subepicardial, or involves RV freewall

“CMR phenotyping can be used immediately in clinical practice to identify patients with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis who would benefit from a primary prevention ICD," said Chetan Shenoy, MD. Read more about how this can prevent life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias: www.tctmd.com/news/cmr-may...
CMR May Improve Assessment of ICD Need in Cardiac Sarcoidosis
The imaging was better than societal recommendations at discriminating long-term risk of ventricular arrhythmias.

In patients with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis, CMR phenotyping showed greater discriminative accuracy than societal recommendations for predicting fatal or life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, suggesting that it may be more effective at identifying candidates for primary prevention ICDs.

Cardiac sarcoidosis is a undervalued disease and difficult to diagnose and treat, considering potential life-threatening arrhythmias. Nice to have some more guidance.

In patients with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis, cardiac FDG-PET is recommended after a normal CMR if there is a high clinical suspicion. What are the data supporting this recommendation? #CardioSky #MedSky #Sarcoidosis

Query sarcoid, normal #WhyCMR, so then should we do FDG-PET? Not much benefit.

Examples of study patients with serial CMR images. Patient A had resolution of LV thrombus on the first serial CMR done 64 days after the index CMR, and no recurrence was noted on subsequent serial CMRs done 688 and 1043 days after the index CMR. Patient B had no resolution of LV thrombus on serial CMRs done 591, 966, and 3555 days after the index CMR. Patient C had resolution of LV thrombus on the first serial CMR done 86 days after the index CMR; however, a new LV thrombus was identified on the second serial CMR done 401 days after the index CMR, which had resolved again by the third serial CMR done 1336 days after the index CMR.

Great thread on LV thrombus and embolism risk - especially if RWMA I discuss lifelong anti coagulation with my pts even if it looks resolved on echo, good to have some data to help back this up 👇

In 2019, we wrote a paper showing that patients with left ventricular thrombus have a long-term risk of embolism, extending to at least 8 years.

We were puzzled by the finding…

Figure 2 from the paper. Incidence of embolism in left ventricular (LV) thrombus patients compared with matched non-LV thrombus patients. Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrate the cumulative incidence of the composite embolic end point in the LV thrombus (in red) and in the matched non-LV thrombus (in blue) groups. Note the significant difference in the cumulative incidence of embolic events between the 2 groups.

It’s great that journals are coming over here, but what I have really missed after my departure from Twitter 2 years ago is this, the authors themselves presenting their works and discussing it with peers. #cardiosky #medsky #emimcc

With the big caveat that obvious alternative causes are not present such as AF.

All patients with stroke is unrealistic in terms of cost, access and resourcing.

However in patients with ischaemic stroke, LV dysfunction and/or recent MI I agree (if #echofirst + contrast is negative for thrombus).

Thanks. So for example - post anterior infarct, persisting WMA on CMR at 6 months despite OMT (but improvement in overall LVEF). Lifelong anticoagulation or would you reimage at a further interval (I.e. 12 months) to look for improvement in wall motion abnormality?

Great work Chetan. An important area where as a community we need to get better at managing - particularly in the post (anterior) STEMI space. What are your thoughts on stopping anticoagulation at 3 or 6 months post MI with persisting wall motion defects but resolved thrombus?

Congratulations for this work! Do you have data for patients with CMR and echo to evaluate the discrepancy?

We need a well designed RCT to answer this important although infrequent question. And to assess the effectiveness of DOAC in these cases
