Evaluation and Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Arrhythmias in Cardiac Sarcoidosis
Ventricular arrhythmias are a common clinical manifestation in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) and other arrhythmogenic inflammatory cardiomyopathies (AIC). The management of sustained ventricular arrhythmias in these patients presents unique challenges. Current therapies include immunosuppre...

| description | Ventricular arrhythmias are a common clinical manifestation in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) and other arrhythmogenic inflammatory cardiomyopathies (AIC). The management of sustained ventricular arrhythmias in these patients presents unique challenges. Current therapies include immunosuppressive, antiarrhythmic agents, and catheter ablation. Significant progress has been made in deciphering the importance of patient selection for ablation, systematic preablation evaluation, and optimal ablation timing, as well as ablation approaches and techniques. In this overview, we discuss the evaluation and management of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with CS, focusing on catheter ablation, which has evolved into an effective approach in reducing the burden of ventricular arrhythmias in these patients in the context of multifaceted treatment along with medical therapies. |
