a Increased metabolic activity in PET/CT imaging with 332 MBq (F-18)-fluorodeoxyglucose in the left ventricular myocardium mainly basal anteroseptal, midventricular dorsal and the inferior papillary muscle. Right ventricular involvement is low (top). Remission after 5 weeks follow-up under immunosuppressive monotherapy with 50 mg prednisolone per day (bottom). b Bipulmonary increased metabolic activity mainly in the middle lobe and right upper lobe and additionally prominent mediastinal lymph nodes (top). Remission of metabolic activity due to immunosuppressive therapy (bottom)
