Ventricular Hyper-Excitability Revealing Cardiac and Mediastino-Pulmonary Sarcoidosis

Abstract

Sarcoidosis, also known as Besnier-Boeck-Schaumann disease, first described in 1877 [1], is a systemic granulomatous disease that affects multiple organs (nervous system, heart, liver and kidneys.. ....), but mainly affects the lungs and lymph glands. Sarcoidosis has no known cause, and it can affect a wide range of people and present a real diagnostic challenge. Cardiac sarcoidosis can manifest as complete heart block, ventricular arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and ventricular aneurysms.
