Background: Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) inhibitors are increasingly being used for treating refractory cardiac sarcoidosis. There is a theoretical risk, however, that these therapies can worsen heart failure, and reports on efficacy and safety are lacking....
Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that can affect multiple organs in the body, but it most often involves the lungs and lymph glands in the chest. If you have sarcoidosis, red, swollen lumps called granulomas form in your affected organs. Symptoms, which can range from nonexistent to sev...

estimate that sarcoidosis of the heart, or cardiac sarcoidosis, affects more than 10 percent of people with sarcoidosis in the United States, and perhaps as many as 25 percent. Because heart problems can be very serious, everyone who has sarcoidosis should be screened for cardiac sarcoidosis. ...

When sarcoidosis affects the skin, it can be referred to as skin sarcoidosis or sarcoid dermatitis. When sarcoidosis affects the heart, it can be referred to as heart sarcoidosis or cardiac sarcoidosis. When sarcoidosis affects the nervous system including the brain, it can be referred to as ne...

Cardiac MRI.Radio waves and magnetic fields are used to create a two- or three-dimensional view of your heart. Cardiac catheterization.For this test, a doctor will thread a small tube (catheter) through a blood vessel in your leg and up to your heart. This lets them measure pressure and...
Sudden cardiac arrest is an unexpected death in a person who had no known previous diagnosis of a fatal disease or condition. The person may or may not have heart disease. It is diagnosed by absence of a pulse and breathing. What is the treatment for sudden cardiac arrest?
