A 16-year odyssey of cardiac sarcoid masquerading as idiopathic premature ventricular contractions and then arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy

A case of a low-displacement area on four-dimensional computed tomography corresponding to a low-voltage area on the voltage map

“…In that study, the authors suggested that it is necessary to beware of that and to discriminate it from arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. Another study 11 reported that a case that had been considered to be attributable to idiopathic PVCs proved to be caused by cardiac sarcoidosis 16 years after the first diagnosis of PVCs. Although there was no low-voltage or scar area at the time of the first diagnosis in that case, the low-voltage and scar areas developed along with the progression of the cardiac sarcoidosis over 16 years.…”
