Sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a major health problem in all continents. It usually affects older patients suffering from coronary artery disease and cardiomyopathies. However, a morphologically normal heart during autopsy has been a frequent finding, ranging from 40% to 78% in victims aged 10 to 49 years old (1-5). This group of patients defines the sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS) where the cause of death is unknown.

Background Echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance and cardiac 18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging play key roles in the diagnosis and management of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), but the relative value of each modality in predicting outcomes has yet to be determined. This study sought to determine the prognostic importance of multimodality imaging data over and above demographic characteristics and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

Esophageal cancer is the sixth leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide; with esophageal adenocarcinoma being the more common subtype in the West. For patients with localized or locally advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma, esophagectomy is necessary for pursuing a curative intent approach. One of the standard approaches typically involves neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiation with carboplatin and paclitaxel followed by esophagectomy, as established by the phase III CROSS trial [1].
