Figure 7: PET scan as a possible tool to predict response to anti-inflammatory therapy and to guide treatment decision.

Figure 7:

Cardiac PET/MR was performed in a patient with biopsy proven CS symptomatic with AF. The initial scan revealed 18F–FDG avid mediastinal LNDs as well as cardiac uptake in the basal segments of the antero-septum. IS therapy with steroids was instituted, with spontaneous cardioversion. Follow up scan at 3 and 6 months revealed progressive resolution of the inflammation.
