We evaluated myocardial contractility quantitatively in a cohort of pulmonary sarcoidosis (PS) patients with and without cardiac involvement. We also studied markers of fibrosis (tenascin-C [Tn-C] and galectin-3 [Gl-3]) as diagnostic tools for PS and cardiac sarcoidosis (CS).Diagnostic Value of Strain Echocardiography, Galectin-3, and Tenascin-C Levels for the Identification of Patients with Pulmonary and Cardiac SarcoidosisArticleWOS:0003398010000108490694024710.1007/s00408-014-9586-524777587
