  • Title: Intraoperative diagnosis of isolated cardiac sarcoid.
    Author: Brown ML, Reeder G, Unni KK, Mullany C.
    Journal: Heart Lung Circ; 2007 Aug; 16(4):315-7. PubMed ID: 17254847.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac sarcoid is a rare and frequently fatal disease. We report a case of isolated cardiac sarcoid diagnosed during elective cardiac surgery. Although this patient presented with a history that was consistent with sarcoid heart disease, diagnosis is challenging when there is no other organ involvement with sarcoid. The patient was successfully treated with steroids and 8 years later remains clinically free of sarcoidosis.
