There are lack of studies investigating prevalence of CS in patients with normal ECG and echocardiogram. We sought to investigate prevalence and explore characteristics among these patient cohorts. Methods: We included consecutive biopsy proven extra-CS patients with normal ECG and echocardiogram. All patients underwent FDG-PET and cardiac MRI for the evaluation of CS. The Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare (JMHW) criteria 2015 were used as the standard for the diagnosis of CS. Results: Forty-five patients were included. Six patients of 45 (13%) were diagnosed wi th CS. Of the 6 patients with CS, 1 patient had multiple organ involvements (lung, skin, stomach, bone and heart), 3 patients had cardiac involvements in the remote area from the interventricular septum such as RV papillary muscle, inferior or lateral wall, 1 patient had small subendocardial lesions on the mid segments of the anteroseptal and inferior walls, and 1 had relatively low LVEF for his age.Conclusions: The prevalence of CS exceeds 10% even in extra-CS patients with normal ECG and echocardiogram. Physicians should keep in mind in such population., 第82回日本循環器学会学術集会}, title = {Prevalence of cardiac involvement in patients with biopsy-proven extracardiac sarcoidosis and normal electrocardiogram and echocardiogram}, year = {2018} }
