Abstract:
We report the case of a previously healthy 45-year-old white man in whom sustained ventricular tachycardia and severe myocardial dysfunction were the only signs of cardiac sarcoidosis. Diagnosis was confirmed by endomyocardial biopsy, and the patient responded well to treatment with amiodarone and prednisone.
