Clinical Questions for Potential Applications of Advanced Cardiac Imaging in Patients with Suspected or Established CS
| Clinical question | Clinical context |
| Diagnosis of CS in patients with established extracardiac sarcoidosis | Positive initial screening: history, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, or 24-h Holter monitoring |
| Diagnosis of CS in patients without established extracardiac sarcoidosis | High degree of suspicion; examples include unexplained electrical abnormalities and unexplained cardiomyopathy |
| Initiation and monitoring of immunosuppressive therapy | Identification and quantification of inflammation, including longitudinal follow-up |
| Device therapy/implantable cardioverter-defibrillator | Identification of high-risk patients for sudden cardiac death beyond traditional markers (left ventricular ejection fraction) |
