Sarcoid cardiomyopathy

Sarcoidosis (sarcoidosis) is an inflammatory disease of granulomatous disease with unknown causes. It mainly invades the lung parenchyma and involves multiple organs throughout the body including lymph nodes, skin, joints, liver, kidney, and heart. Nodular cardiomyopathy (cardiac sarcoidosis) is a disease of cardiac dysfunction caused by progressive granulomatous infiltration of the myocardium. It has been relatively insidious in clinical studies before birth. Sudden death from heart failure, or even sudden death as the first symptom, has caused great concern in the medical community.
