Table 3. Test characteristics for cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

Post-transplant histologic diagnosis (CS or alternate diagnosis) stratified by cardiac MRI CS probability and specificity for cardiac MRI for the diagnosis of CS using two different cutoffs and post-transplant histologic diagnosis as the gold standard. 95% CI, exact (Clopper-Pearson) 95% confidence intervals. CS, cardiac sarcoidosis. MRI, magnetic resonance imaging.
