Article Synopsis
- Sarcoidosis is a disease that causes inflammation in different parts of the body, and it can affect the heart even if people don't have heart symptoms.
- This study looked at 55 patients who were recently diagnosed with sarcoidosis but showed no heart issues, using a special heart scan called CMR to check for heart involvement.
- The results showed that only a small number of those patients (6%) had signs of heart issues, suggesting that heart problems are rare in these cases, but the CMR scan can be helpful to find them.
Sarcoidosis is a highly variable, systemic granulomatous disease of hitherto unknown aetiology. The GenPhenReSa (Genotype-Phenotype Relationship in Sarcoidosis) project represents a European multicentre study to investigate the influence of genotype on disease phenotypes in sarcoidosis.The baseline phenotype module of GenPhenReSa comprised 2163 Caucasian patients with sarcoidosis who were phenotyped at 31 study centres according to a standardised protocol.
