CARDIAC SARCOIDOSIS: ADVANCEMENTS IN DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES AND MANAGEMENT
AbstractCardiac sarcoidosis, a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of non-caseating granulomas, poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its variable clinical presentation and potential for severe complications. This article reviews recent advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac sarcoidosis, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and intervention. Diagnostic strategies have evolved, incorporating advanced imaging modalities such as cardiac MRI and PET-CT scans, alongside endomyocardial biopsy for definitive confirmation. Treatment options have expanded beyond conventional immunosuppression to include targeted therapies and device-based interventions like implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) for arrhythmia management. The impact of timely diagnosis on patient outcomes underscores the critical role of heightened clinical suspicion and interdisciplinary collaboration among cardiologists, pulmonologists, and rheumatologists. This review consolidates current evidence and expert recommendations to guide clinicians in optimizing care for patients with cardiac sarcoidosis, highlighting ongoing research efforts aimed at further improving diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic efficacy.
