Acute myocarditis
Cardiac sarcoidosis
Included patients with clinically suspected acute myocarditis (n=30-40) will undergo a 68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT and a blood sample will be taken. Furthermore, participants will undergo a contrast-enhanced MRI and endomyocardial biopsy (if clinically indicated) as part of the clinical routine work-up.
Included patients with clinically suspected cardiac sarcoidosis (n=30-40) will undergo a 68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT and a blood sample will be taken. Furthermore, participants will undergo a contrast-enhanced MRI, 18F-FDG PET/CT and endomyocardial biopsy as part of the clinical routine work-up.
