A 73-year-old woman with a history of cutaneous sarcoidosis (Figure 1 A, a gift from Dr. Maya Takazawa, Department of Dermatology) presented with palpitations and was referred to a cardiologist. Electrocardiography showed normal sinus rhythm and complete right bundle branch block (Figure 1 B); echocardiography showed a left ventricular (LV) apical aneurysm; and coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography ruled out obstructive coronary artery disease. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) cine imaging showed LV dysfunction with normal global right ventricular (RV) function (Supplemental Movies); however, CMR feature tracking analysis using dedicated software (Vitrea; Canon Medical Systems, Otawara, Japan; Figure 1 C, D) revealed regional RV dyssynchrony and reduced circumferential strain in the anterior RV free wall (Figure 1 D, arrows; segments of the LV and RV walls and regional strain values are presented with the same color). Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging showed subepicardial and mid-wall enhancement predominantly distributed in the interventricular septum and the anterior wall of the LV and RV (Figure 1 E, arrow). Subsequent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT revealed abnormal FDG uptake located in the same areas (Figure 1 F, G, arrow). She was diagnosed with cardiac sarcoidosis and started prednisolone 30 mg daily. RV involvement detected by LGE-CMR 1 or FDGPET 2 was reported to be associated with adverse cardiac events in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis. LGE-CMR as a gold standard for the diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis cannot be performed in patients with impaired renal function. Regional strain analysis using feature tracking can be applied retrospectively to existing cine CMR images without contrast material administration. This case highlights that cine CMR-based strain analysis may help to identify RV involvement in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis.
