• Cardiac sarcoidosis is a rare, inflammatory multisystem disorder that manifests as noncaseating granulomas of multiple organs.
• The clinical presentation of sarcoidosis is variable and may be underrecognized by clinicians.
• Individuals may be asymptomatic during their lifetimes and may be incidentally diagnosed with the disease for the first-time during autopsy.
• Patients with cardiac involvement of sarcoidosis may initially present with complications including arrhythmias, heart block, bundle branch block, congestive heart failure, pericardial effusion, pulmonary hypertension, and/or sudden cardiac death.
