Cardiac Findings in Sarcoidosis Most Commonly Affected Sites: - LV free wall (esp. basal posterior wall) - Interventricular septum. (esp. basal) LV Myocardial Involvement: - LV wall thickening - LV wall thinning - Focal hypokinesis or RWMA - LV Aneurysm - Global systolic dysfunction (+LVEF) - Reduced myocardial strain - Diastolic dysfunction - Papillary muscle involvement Valvular Abnormalities: - Mitral regurgitation due to primary thickening of leaflets - Mitral or tricuspid regurgitation secondary to ventricular dysfunction or pulmonary hypertension Pericardial involvement: - Effusion ECG Abnormalities: - Advanced atrioventricular block - Ventricular arrythmias (V. tachycardia, multifocal) - Right bundle branch block - Axis deviation - Abnormal a-wave #Cardiac #Findings #Sarcoidosis #Cardiology #Involvement #diagnosis
