Cardiac sarcoidosis

open access: yesHeart, 2023
The diagnostic yield of endomyocardial biopsy in cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is quite low because of the patchy involvement, and for the diagnosis of CS, existing guidelines required histological confirmation. Therefore, especially for isolated CS, diagnosis consistent with the guidelines cannot be made in a large number of patients.

Cardiac sarcoidosis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Internal Medicine, 2016
Clinically manifest cardiac involvement occurs in perhaps 5% of patients with sarcoidosis. The 3 principal manifestations of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) are conduction abnormalities, ventricular arrhythmias, and heart failure. An estimated 20% to 25% of patients with pulmonary/systemic sarcoidosis have asymptomatic cardiac involvement (clinically silent ...

Underdiagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis by ECG and echocardiography in cases of extracardiac sarcoidosis

open access: yesERJ Open Research, 2022
Background Although screening with 12-lead electrocardiography and transthoracic echocardiography for cardiac involvement has been recommended for patients with biopsy-proven extracardiac sarcoidosis, cardiac sarcoidosis has been reported even in ...

Indirect pathological indicators for cardiac sarcoidosis on endomyocardial biopsy [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Pathology and Translational Medicine, 2020
Background The definitive pathologic diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis requires observation of a granuloma in the myocardial tissue. It is common, however, to receive a “negative” report for a clinically probable case. We would like to advise pathologists

Challenges of cardiac sarcoidosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2023
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatosis of unknown origin, which can involve almost any organ. Most frequently the disease involves the lungs and mediastinal lymph nodes, but it can affect the skin, the eyes, nervous system, the heart, kidneys ...

Cardiac Sarcoidosis

open access: yesThe Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 2009
Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease which affects many organs, including the heart. Cardiac sarcoidosis has a reported incidence of about 25 % and carries a poor prognosis. It can occur in the form of conduction abnormalities, pericardial and valvular heart disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.

Features and clinical impact of extra-cardiac lesions with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in patients with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2020
Background: Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disorder and can often affect any other organs beyond the heart. Whole-body 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is used to detect not only cardiac but also extra-cardiac ...
