Abstract

Cardiac sarcoidosis is a rare autoimmune condition that is characterized by the presence of non-caseating granulomas in the cardiac tissue. We present the case of a 31-year-old male with no significant past medical history who presented with palpitations and lightheadedness during exertion for two to three months and was found to have complete heart block on his 12-lead electrocardiogram. A cardiac CT was obtained to rule out an ischemic event, but it indicated findings suggestive of pulmonary sarcoidosis. The CT findings helped tremendously with narrowing down the differential diagnosis and providing efficient diagnostic and therapeutic management.
