BACKGROUND Catheter ablation (CA) of ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis can be challenging because of the complex underlying substrate. We sought to determine the long-term outcome of CA of VT in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis. METHODS AND RESULTS We enrolled 31 patients (age, 55±10 years) with diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis based on Heart Rhythm Society cr...
Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology that may involve virtually any organ. Pulmonary involvement predominates, but sarcoidosis can involve multiple organs, with or without concomitant lung involvement. Aberrations on chest radiographs are present in more than 90% of patients with sarcoidosis. Bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, with or without lung parenchymal i...
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 ...
We present the case of a patient who underwent cardiac transplantation with the diagnosis of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Once the explanted heart was examined, a type of granulomatous myocarditis compatible with cardiac sarcoidosis was observed. However, there was severe involvement of the right ventricle, with markedly reduced width of the muscular layer and extensive fibrofatty replace...
A 48-year-old woman without known cardiovascular disease presented with progressive dyspnea. The ECG showed first-degree heart block. Plasma Troponin I and T were persistently elevated. Chest x-ray was normal. Echocardiography demonstrated asymmetrical left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy with septal predominance and moderately impaired LV systolic function. Coronary angiography demonstrated angio...
Sarcoidosis is associated with cell-mediated immunodeficiency and treatment of symptomatic sarcoidosis usually includes systemic immunosuppressants. Data relative to incidence, prognosis factors, and outcome of infections are scarce.Retrospective cohort study of 585 patients with biopsy proven sarcoidosis in a tertiary referral specialist clinic, with a nested case-control analysis. Twenty nine...
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder characterised pathologically by the presence of noncaseating granulomas in the organs involved. Cardiac involvement, although well known, is rare. We describe a 72-year-old patient who was admitted to the intensive care unit after coronary artery bypass grafting. She developed refractory right and left ventricular failure complicated by multip...
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatosis of unknown etiology despite being described over 100 years ago. While both genetic predisposition and environmental exposures have been proposed as playing a role in this disease, there have not been any systematic investigations of gene-environmental interaction in this disease. In the ACCESS dataset, detailed environmental histories and high resolution...
Sarcoidosis is a common multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Overall the prognosis is not necessarily deleterious because organ involvement is usually asymptomatic except for ocular or cutaneous involvements and the disease is often selflimiting. Cardiac Sarcoidosis is rare (5%) but once the heart is involved, the patient’s prognosis is poor because of the development of fatal...
Cardiac fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is increasingly used for detecting cardiac involvement and assessing the presence and severity of myocardial inflammation in sarcoidosis [1]. Numerous reports have highlighted the usefulness of F-FDG PET in improving the ability to identify and treat patients with this disease, and several societies now incorporat...
