Systemic sarcoidosis revealed by ventricular tachycardia: electrocardiography and MRI correspondence

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2007 Dec;30(12):1566-70. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8159.2007.00909.x.

Abstract

We describe a case presenting with ventricular tachycardia as the manifestation leading to the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. The ventricular tachyacardia's origin is correlated with granuloma localization on magnetic resonance imaging.
