Abstract :

The echocardiogram is often abnormal in manifest cardiac sarcodiosis (CS) disease, but is usually normal in clinically silent CS. Abnormalities are variable and usually nonspecific, although interventricular septal thinning, especially basal, can be a feature of CS . Less frequently, there may be an increase in myocardial wall thickness, simulating left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy or resembling hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Other abnormalities include LV and/or RV diastolic and systolic dysfunction, isolated wall motion abnormalities, basal septal thinning, and aneurysms. Regional wall motion abnormalities are usually seen in a non-coronary distribution.
