摘要
Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), a rare complication of systemic sarcoidosis, can have subtle or no symptoms. It is characterized by granuloma formation in the myocardium, which can occur in isolation or alongside systemic sarcoidosis. Clinical manifestations include conduction system disorders (e.g., atrioventricular block and ventricular tachyarrhythmia), heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. Timely evaluation and screening for CS are crucial, especially in systemic sarcoidosis patients with limited symptoms. We present the case of a 50-year-old African-American male diagnosed with cardiac sarcoidosis following a recent diagnosis of pulmonary sarcoidosis after experiencing tachycardia for two years, as confirmed by imaging studies.
