Clinical Features of Isolated Cardiac Sarcoidosis

CMR Features in Cardiac Sarcoidosis

Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disorder of unknown aetiology characterised by the formation of noncaseating epithelioid cell granuloma involving various organ systems. Cardiac involvement has an important prognostic factor as it can present with life-threatening arrythmias and sudden death. Here, we present a case of cardiac sarcoidosis in a 46-year-old gentleman who presented with nonspecific ...

Isolated Cardiac Sarcoidosis Presenting with Stroke

https://e-kcj.org A 42-year-old man without past medical history presented to our hospital with temporary right sided hemiparalysis and dysarthria. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed multiple cerebrovascular infarctions (Figure 1). Electrocardiography showed sinus rhythm with frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), but no atrial ventricular block. Echocardiography showed ...

A case highly suspicious of isolated cardiac sarcoidosis

A 55-year-old Caucasian male without cardiac history presented with a broad-complex tachycardia of a right ventricular origin (Fig. 1a). After successful electrocardioversion, echocardiography and coronary angiogram showed no significant abnormalities. Electrophysiological examination suggested a right ventricular mid-septal origin of the arrythmia, closely to the HIS bundle. Cardiac MRI (Fig. ...

Isolated Cardiac Sarcoidosis Presenting with Acute Ruptured Chordae

Isolated cardiac sarcoidosis is a rare but life threatening sub classification of sarcoidosis. The symptomology can range from incidental asymptomatic disease to a life threatening disorder causing sudden cardiac death [3]. Conduction disorders are a well documented manifestation of cardiac sarcoid, however a lesser studied yet life threatening problem includes granulomatous involvement of the ...
