  • Title: FDG-PET and MIBI-Tc SPECT as follow-up tools in a patient with cardiac sarcoidosis requiring a pacemaker.
    Author: Smedema JP, White L, Klopper AJ.
    Journal: Cardiovasc J Afr; 2008; 19(6):309-10. PubMed ID: 19104727.
    Abstract:
    A 63-year-old man presented with recent-onset symptoms secondary to third-degree atrio-ventricular block, for which a dual-chamber pacemaker was inserted. Additional investigations resulted in the diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis. FDG-PET and MIBI-technetium SPECT were used as follow-up tools for monitoring active granulomatous myocardial infiltration.
