Diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis: histological evidence vs. imaging

This article describes the advantages and disadvantages of the current diagnostic criteria for CS, and typical imaging and clinical courses.EXPERT OPINION: The diagnosis of clinical CS has been made possible by recent developments in multimodality imaging.
