Summary

This study explores a new blood test that looks for DNA fragments from damaged heart cells to detect active heart inflammation in people with sarcoidosis. Researchers will compare results from 120 participants, including healthy volunteers and those with known heart conditions. If successful, this test could replace high-radiation scans and help doctors decide when to start or adjust treatment.
