Hospitalization Rates, Prevalence of Cardiovascular Manifestations, and Outcomes Associated With Sarcoidosis in the United States

Abstract

Sarcoidosis hospitalizations have increased over the past decade with a myriad of coexistent cardiovascular manifestations. Black race is a significant predictor of in-hospital mortality, which is declining. Further efforts are needed to improve care in view of low implantable cardioverter-defibrillator rates in sarcoidosis.
