Cardiac sarcoidosis, a heart complication of sarcoidosis, affects up to 10% of patients. This expert consensus provides diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms for better clinical decision-making in cardiac sarcoidosis.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Pulmonology
- Immunology
Context:
- Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic granulomatous disease.
- Cardiac involvement occurs in up to 10% of sarcoidosis patients.
- Cardiac sarcoidosis presents with diverse manifestations, including arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies.
Purpose:
- To establish diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms for cardiac sarcoidosis.
- To provide expert opinion based on literature review.
- To aid clinical decision-making in managing cardiac sarcoidosis.
Summary:
- This consensus paper addresses cardiac sarcoidosis, a significant complication of sarcoidosis.
- It synthesizes current literature to propose diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
- Algorithms are presented to guide individualized patient care.
Impact:
- Aims to clarify the morbidity and mortality of cardiac sarcoidosis in Germany.
- Facilitates standardized clinical practice for cardiac sarcoidosis.
- Supports the development of future international prospective studies.
