High-fat, low-sugar diet improves diagnostic imaging of cardiac sarcoidosis

A high-fat, low-sugar diet improves diagnostic imaging of cardiac sarcoidosis. Previously, diagnosing cardiac sarcoidosis using imaging tests was challenging as the images were unclear. Researchers uncovered that having patients consume a high-fat and low-sugar diet up to 72 hours before the testing helps improve the imaging clarity, which in turn improves the accuracy of diagnosis. ...click here to read more

Cardiac sarcoidosis raises arrhythmia and heart failure risk

Cardiac sarcoidosis raises arrhythmia and heart failure risk. Only a small number of people are affected by cardiac sarcoidosis, an inflammatory condition that can affect other organs as well. Cardiac sarcoidosis specifically targets the white blood cells in the heart tissue. These blood cells form clusters, which can then interfere with the heart’s electrical system, ...click here to read more
