Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Ed Miller from Yale discusses the use of FDG PET imaging for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac sarcoidosis. He begins by outlining the optimal patient preparation for the FDG PET imaging and the various methodologies for interpreting the images. He explains that the clinical roles for FDG PET in cardiac sarcoidosis are primarily in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. He emphasizes the importance of identifying extracardiac sarcoidosis in order to understand the likelihood of cardiac involvement. He also discusses the use of FDG PET for diagnosing acute AV block and the potential use of the imaging for monitoring treatment response. Dr. Miller presents several case examples to illustrate the application of FDG PET in clinical practice. He concludes by highlighting the benefits of FDG PET in the diagnostic evaluation and treatment of cardiac sarcoidosis. No specific credits are mentioned in the video.
