Overview
Infiltrative cardiomyopathy caused by sarcoidosis, has two major complications: arrhythmias, and reduced ejection fraction. Therefore echocardiography and 24-48 hour cardiac monitoring are useful tests for screening of cardiac involvement.
Ultrasound
Infiltrative cardiomyopathy caused by sarcoidosis, has two major complications: arrhythmias, and reduced ejection fraction. Therefore echocardiography and 24-48 hour cardiac monitoring are useful tests for screening of cardiac involvement.[1][2]
