Isolated Cardiac Sarcoidosis: A Rare Case in Bangladesh

Abstract

Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is a granulomatous inflammatory disorder of the myocardium with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, comprising incidental conduction disorder, heart failure, arrhythmia, and sudden death. We present an unusual case of cardiac sarcoidosis that mimicked hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Sarcoidosis has the lowest prognosis when it involves the heart muscle, resulting in more than two-thirds death of all sarcoid patient. Myocardium involvement can occur alone or in conjunction with other organ involvement, most notably pulmonary sarcoidosis which is about 90%. Here our patient has cardiac presentation.
