“…Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is an essential part of the initial work up of patients with suspected CS and allows for structural and functional assessment of both ventricles as well as assessment for the presence of fibrotic changes detected on late gadolinium imaging. CMR has a high sensitivity (90%) and specificity (77–85%) for the diagnosis of CS [ 26 ]. Scar burden quantified by LGE has been correlated with the risk of ventricular arrhythmias and the risk of sudden death [ 26 ].…”

Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is characterized by various arrhythmic manifestations ranging from catastrophic sudden cardiac death secondary to ventricular arrhythmia, severe conduction disease, sinus node dysfunction, and atrial fibrillation. The management of CS is complex and includes not only addressing the arrhythmia but also controlling the myocardial inflammation resultant from the autoimmune reaction. Arrhythmic manifestations of CS carry significant prognostic implications and invariably affect long-term survival in these patients. In this review, we focus on management of arrhythmic manifestation of cardiac sarcoidosis as well as risk stratification for sudden cardiac death in these patients.
