Abstract

Cardiac involvement in sarcoidosis may be incidentally discovered without any symptoms of the disease. When undiagnosed and untreated it is potentially fatal. Although there is no recommended strategy for the diagnosis, the introduction of newer technology is promising and may be useful for early diagnosis of sarcoid heart disease and for the evaluation of response to therapy. We present a case of 53-years old woman, with asymptomatic cardiac arrhythmias and x-ray chest picture changes without any respiratory symptoms. Further assessment and the use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging allowed a diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis to be made.
Keywords: cardiac sarcoidosis; sudden cardiac death; magnetic resonance imaging cardiac sarcoidosis; sudden cardiac death; magnetic resonance imaging
