0:14.6	Hi, everyone.
0:15.7	This is John Mandrola from the heart.org medscape cardiology, and this is this week in cardiology for June 6, 2025.
0:23.6	This week, listener feedback on cardiac sarcoidosis, out of hospital cardiac arrest.
0:30.6	Less is more, again, when it comes to post-stent antiplatelets, lipoprotein little A, and atrial fibrillation and
0:40.1	hefeph. First up, some listener feedback. I received an email from Finland this week. Dr. Rina
0:48.6	Candlein from Helsinki writes that I should clarify some of my comments on the cardiac sarcoidosis paper that I
0:56.0	covered last week. The paper I spoke about was from a primarily Dutch and Minnesota group,
1:02.6	and they had compared professional societal recommendations for an ICD versus CMR phenotyping
1:10.3	in patients with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis.
1:14.2	And the key word there is suspected cardiac sarcoidosis.
1:18.7	In that study that I covered last week in the European Heart Journal, CMR phenotyping by four
1:25.4	criteria, no LGE normal EF, no LGEE abnormal EF,
1:31.4	pathology frequent LGEE, and pathology rare LGEE performed better than professional societal
1:38.9	recommendations for VT. Dr. Kandlin from Helsinki pointed me to an incredible circulation EPP paper from their group
1:47.9	in Helsinki on 305 patients with either biopsy-proven cardiac sarcoid, which was just under
1:55.8	half the group, or findings highly suggestive of cardiac sarcoidosis. Now right away, this is a different population
2:04.2	because the first study looked at patients with distant sarcoidosis, say, in the lungs, and they
2:09.4	were being evaluated for cardiac involvement. While the second study in the circupi, this year
2:15.6	studied patients with proven cardiac sarcoidosis.
