BACKGROUND: Quantitative assessment of cardiac hypermetabolism from 18Flourodeoxy glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) may improve diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). We assessed different approaches for quantification of cardiac hypermetabolism and perfusion in patients with suspected CS.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Consecutive patients undergoing 18FDG PET assessment for possible CS between January 2014 and March 2019 were included. Cardiac hypermetabolism was quantified using maximal standardized uptake value (SUVMAX), cardiometabolic activity (CMA) and volume of inflammation, using relative thresholds (1.3× and 1.5× left ventricular blood pool [LVBP] activity), and absolute thresholds (SUVMAX > 2.7 and 4.1). Diagnosis of CS was established using the Japanese Ministry of Health and Wellness criteria. In total, 69 patients were studied, with definite or possible CS in 29(42.0%) patients. CMA above 1.5× LVBP SUVMAX had the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC 0.92). Quantitative parameters using relative thresholds had higher AUC compared to absolute thresholds (p < 0.01). Interobserver variability was low for CMA, with excellent agreement regarding absence of activity (Kappa 0.970).
CONCLUSIONS: Quantitation with scan-specific thresholds has superior diagnostic accuracy compared to absolute thresholds. Based on the potential clinical benefit, programs should consider quantification of cardiac hypermetabolism when interpreting 18F-FDG PET studies for CS.
