Ventricular tachyarrhythmia as a primary presentation of sarcoidosis

Abstract

Our data indicate that sarcoidosis can manifest as VT without any detectable systemic findings. This makes sarcoidosis an important diagnostic consideration in patients with VT of unknown origin. Arrhythmia control in cardiac sarcoidosis is difficult, and all modern treatments including high-dose steroids, anti-arrhythmic drugs, ICD, and catheter ablation are needed to suppress the arrhythmias.
