This study confirms, for the first time in a fully prospective cohort, the prognostic importance of CMR phenotyping in cardiac sarcoidosis. The high-risk CMR phenotype had 100% NPV, indicating the absence of VA events among patients without the high-risk phenotype. LGE phenotyping showed much higher interobserver reproducibility than LGE quantification and was five-fold faster.
In science, successful replication is the ultimate quality check!
This is a highlight for our research group—David Birnie's group (one of the biggest names in cardiac sarcoidosis) just independently replicated our CMR phenotyping work!
