Hi, everyone.

0:16.2

This is John Mandrola from the Heart.org Medscape Cardiology, and this is this week in cardiology for June 13th, 2025.

0:25.5

Today I'm recording on a warm, sunny day in London, where I'm here to speak at the London Arithmetic Summit.

0:32.9

I'll talk today about listener feedback and cardiac sarcoidosis, sinus node ablation, surgical

0:39.9

a.F. Ablation, reducing outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes,

0:46.3

and recruiting for cardiac trials. The first topic is listener feedback on cardiac sarcoidosis.

0:54.8

Now, one of the best parts of this podcast is the listener feedback I receive.

0:59.4

This week, David Bernie, the Division Chief of Cardiology at the University of Ottawa,

1:03.9

and an academic electrophysiologist who's active in sarcoid research,

1:08.6

sent me feedback on a paper from Dutch and American authors that I had

1:11.8

covered two weeks ago on May 30, 2025. The mostly Dutch-led paper had 1,500 patients with biopsy-proven

1:19.6

established sarcoidosis, most of which were non-cardiac. The question they had was how to restratify

1:26.4

for an ICD. Now, the two ways of risk stratification

1:30.1

were to either use professional society recommendations or to use CMR. CMR was grouped into four categories,

1:38.1

one high-risk category, and the three were lower-risk categories. The high-risk category was, quote,

1:44.0

pathology-frequent LGEE.

1:46.9

The three main findings were that if either the professional society criteria or CMR

1:53.1

indicated a high risk, the rate of VT at five years, was also high.

1:58.1

Up to one in three patients had VT.
