Why the study?
The clinical presentation of cardiac sarcoidosis is variable, presenting diagnostic challenges and warranting consideration as a differential in unexplained arrhythmias and heart failure.
Case Report (n=2)
Cardiac sarcoidosis can present variably with heart failure or conduction abnormalities, and immunosuppressive therapy can lead to significant clinical and electrocardiographic improvement.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May inform immunosuppression use in cardiac sarcoidosis with HF or heart block in Africa; leaves open need for prospective trials.
The clinical presentation of cardiac sarcoidosis is variable. We report two cases of cardiac sarcoidosis to highlight the varied clinical presentations and diagnostic challenges in our setting, and encourage the consideration of sarcoidosis as a differential in unexplained arrhythmias and heart failure.
