Atrial Fibrillation and Ventricular Tachycardia in a Patient with Cardiac Sarcoidosis

Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) can cause atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, conduction system disease, and congestive heart failure. The use of advanced imaging modalities including cardiac magnetic resonance and positron emission tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-D-glucose can be helpful in...

description Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) can cause atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, conduction system disease, and congestive heart failure. The use of advanced imaging modalities including cardiac magnetic resonance and positron emission tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-D-glucose can be helpful in evaluating the extent of disease and response to treatment. The management of CS patients can be challenging, requiring immunosuppression medications, antiarrhythmic drugs, implantable cardiac devices, and cardiac ablation procedures. We report a patient with CS initially presenting with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation who later developed polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, highlighting the complexity of diagnosis and management in patients with multisystem sarcoidosis.
