متن کاملCardiac sarcoid: a clinicopathologic study of 84 unselected patients with systemic sarcoidosis.
Although sarcoid may involve the myocardium, there is little information on its incidence or significance. We studied 84 consecutive autopsied patients with sarcoidosis.

In eight (35%) these were clinically silent, and in 15 (65%) there was a history of heart failure a...
