Cardiac sarcoidosis diagnosed after orthotopic heart transplantation and clinically mimicking arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy

1Cardiac sarcoidosis can simulate arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.2Cardiac sarcoidosis can occur without the presence of non-caseating granulomas. Described herein is a 71-year-old man who underwent orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) for chronic severe heart failure secondary to cardi...

Summary:1Cardiac sarcoidosis can simulate arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.2Cardiac sarcoidosis can occur without the presence of non-caseating granulomas. Described herein is a 71-year-old man who underwent orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) for chronic severe heart failure secondary to cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) devoid of non-caseating granulomas but nevertheless characteristic of CS. Clinically, his heart disease had suggested the presence of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
