sarcoidosis
All patients with first diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis or without steroid treatment will undergo 11C HED PET/CT,18F FDG PET/CT, 15O-PET water, MIBG, 12 leads ECG, AECG , SAECG and echocardiogram (Echo) before starting corticosteroid therapy and repeat study at 4 weeks after starting corticosteroid therapy. These patients will also have reevaluation 6 to 12 month after the second evaluations. Sarcoidosis without cardiac involvement will undergo steroid treatment will also repeat the same measurements 4 weeks after the treatment. Cardiac sarcoidosis but will not have steroid treatment will also repeat the same measurements 12 months later. Sarcoidosis patients without steroid treatment will also repeat the same measurements 12 months later. Cardiac sarcoidosis with steroid treatment.
