description Cardiac sarcoidosis, either as part of a systemic process or in its isolated form, is an important and increasingly recognized disorder.

A team approach, involving general cardiologists, cardiac electrophysiologists, cardiac imaging specialists and radiologists, is the key to best diagnose and manage this complex disorder. Advanced cardiac imaging with PET and MRI is useful for both diagnosis and managment of therapy.
