Investigation of cardiomyopathy using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging part 1: Common phenotypes

Figure 4 Cardiac sarcoidosis. A 54-year-old woman who presented with recurring palpitations and progressive shortness of breath for several months before suddenly collapsing. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrates extensive scarring throughout the anterior and anteroseptal segments of the left ventricle (arrows). However, the involvement of the anterior segment of the right ventricle is unusual for ischemia and suggests another cause for the images. An endomyocardial biopsy revealed cardiac sarcoidosis. There was no previous history of lung or mediastinal sarcoid.
