Pierre-Louis B et al. - Clinical evidence of sarcoid heart disease (SHD) is seen only in 5% of patients and the disease may present with tachyarrhythmias, conduction disturbance, heart failure, or sudden cardiac death. Given that early diagnosis and treatment may prevent substantial morbidity and mortality in patients with cardiac involvement, it remains important to screen patients with sarcoidosis and initiate early treatment with corticosteroids. Other immunosuppressive agents, antiarrhythmic drugs, placement of an automated implantable cardiac defibrillator, or surgical options such as a pericardial window, ventricular aneurysm repair and cardiac transplant, may also be required for the management of patients with SHD.
