    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Immunology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Sarcoid heart disease (SHD) is often underdiagnosed.
    • Cardiac involvement is a frequent cause of mortality in sarcoidosis.
    • SHD can present with various cardiac issues, including arrhythmias and cardiomyopathy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the increasing diagnosis of SHD.
    • To emphasize the importance of recognizing SHD for improved prognosis.
    • To discuss the clinical presentations and diagnostic considerations for SHD.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical cases and literature on sarcoid heart disease.
    • Emphasis on diagnostic challenges and clinical presentations.
    • Discussion of treatment implications and prognostic factors.

    Main Results:

    • Sarcoidosis is increasingly diagnosed during life and post-mortem.
    • Cardiac problems are the most frequent presentations of clinically significant SHD.
    • Histological confirmation of sarcoidosis is recommended for diagnosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Sarcoidosis should be considered in unexplained heart disease.
    • Early diagnosis and energetic treatment of SHD can improve prognosis.
    • Prognosis for SHD is not necessarily poor with appropriate management.
