Complete heart block as the first manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis: a case report highlighting the diagnostic utility of multimodality imaging
Cardiac sarcoidosis can produce life-threatening complications if left untreated. Our case serves to highlight the need for consideration of sarcoidosis as a cause for cardiac conduction disease in young patients, and the utility of multimodality imaging in its diagnosis. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging serves as a useful tool when faced with this clinical picture.
