Abstract :
Sarcoidosis is a multi‐organ disease of unknown etiology and cardiac involvement is rare, reported in < 5 % of patients with systemic Sarcoidosis It can be seen in all age groups, but most commonly seen in middle–aged patients predominantly (20–45 years) More commonly seen in females. Clinical presentation is mostly non specific, consisting of constitutional symptoms such as anorexia, weight loss ,malaise, and fever. MRI–Late Gadolinium enhancement sequence and thus the resulting cardiac involvement pattern has been at the epi–center for estimation of cardiac involvement in Sarcoidosis, being a more likely differential. However mediastinal lymph node biopsy is confirmatory.
