An Unusual Cause of Sudden Cardiac Death

Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disease with multi-systemic involvement and with varied forms of presentation. The diagnosis can often be a challenge particularly due to the non-specific nature of the disease. It is often silent and may require no active treatment except during flares. We present the case of a middle age lady with pulmonary sarcoidosis who had sudden death from cardiac affectation without prior cardiac symptoms. We concluded that active cardiac assessment is a prudent step in patients presenting with sarcoidosis regardless of the organ of affectation at presentation or diagnosis.
