A case of left atrial involvement of cardiac sarcoidosis manifesting as atrial flutter treated with corticosteroids
چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryThe clinical diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis can be elusive, because the clinical manifestations are non-specific, and the sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic modalities are limited. A 60-year-old woman suffered atrial flutter and diffuse thickening of the left atrial wall accompanied with gallium-67 uptake, both of which were successfully treated with corticosteroid therapy. The diagnosis of cutaneous sarcoidosis had been made two years previously; therefore, we diagnosed the patient as having atrial involvement of cardiac sarcoidosis, and discuss here the importance of noninvasive evaluation of cardiac sarcoidosis using echocardiography.
