Giant cell myocarditis, but not cardiac sarcoidosis, is known to cause fulminant myocarditis resulting in severe heart failure. However, giant cell myocarditis and cardiac sarcoidosis are pathologically similar, and attempts at pathological differentiation between the two remain difficult. We are presenting...
Cardiac Sarcoidosis: Recent Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment and an Argument for the Need for a Systematic Multidisciplinary Approach to ManagementThe reported incidence and prevalence of sarcoidosis varies widely and is strongly influenced by race, gender, and geographical location. A large ...
Treatment strategies aim to mitigate the long-term effects of CS on the heart; however, there is a paucity of data for appropriate pharmacological regimens. Introduction Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is clinically manifested in approximately 5% of patients with systemic sarcoidosis...

The optimal management of cardiac sarcoidosis has not been well defined. Although corticosteroids remain the mainstay of treatment, there is little evidence for the optimal initiation, dosage, or duration of therapy. This article will update the reader on the clinical manifestations and pathophysiology...
SarcoidosisSecondary autoimmunityAlemtuzumab, an effective disease-modifying therapy for multiple sclerosis, carries a significant risk of secondary autoimmunity. We present a case of cardiac sarcoidosis and immune thrombocytopenia diagnosed in an MS patient two years after completing alemtuzumab treatment. We...
Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disorder that may involve every organ. A symptomatic manifestation of the myocardium is possible, in these cases arrhythmias are the most common symptoms. This case report presents a 26-year-old female with the recurrence of Boeck's sarcoid. Fever, chill and a ...
cardiac resuscitation- an emergency procedure consisting of external cardiac massage and artificial respiration; the first treatment for a person who has collapsed and has no pulse and has stopped breathing; attempts to restore circulation of the blood and prevent death or brain damage due to lack ...
