In a patient presenting with sustained ventricular tachycardia mimicking arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, multimodality imaging and biopsy confirmed cardiac sarcoidosis, which responded to immunosuppression and ablation.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Cardiac sarcoidosis can closely mimic arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, and FDG-PET/CT is a crucial diagnostic tool for identifying active myocardial inflammation and extracardiac biopsy targets when cardiac MRI is contraindicated.
Ibrahim et al. (Sun,) conducted a case report in Cardiac sarcoidosis (n=1). Substrate-based ablation, ICD implantation, and immunosuppressive therapy was evaluated. In a patient presenting with sustained ventricular tachycardia mimicking arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, multimodality imaging and biopsy confirmed cardiac sarcoidosis, which responded to immunosuppression and ablation.
