Sarcoid Heart Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review

ABSTRACT

Sarcoid Heart Disease (SHD), often misdiagnosed as tuberculosis is a potentially life-threatening condition.Cardiac manifestation of sarcoidosis is a challenging clinical condition as it is associated with pericarditis, heartblock, ventricular arrhythmias, valve dysfunction, ventricular aneurysm, sudden cardiac death, and heart failure.This study presents a case of a syncopal attack due to complete heart block, which is the first indication of SHD.The study has also presented a literature review on the various management options employed for therapeuticand effective management of SHD. The study has proposed treatment approaches, such as Cardiac MagneticResonance (CMR), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Insertion of an Implantable CardioverterDefibrillators (ICD) in patients with complete heart block to improve the quality of life and increase overallsurvival rates.
