Video Summary

In this segment of "EP on EP," Dr. Wendy Zhao discusses cardiac sarcoid with Eric Pustowski. Cardiac sarcoid is a disease that can mimic other conditions and can range from asymptomatic to those with systemic involvement. Diagnosis can be difficult, but imaging such as MRI and PET scans can help. Treatment options include immune therapies and medications to control arrhythmias. Risk stratification is important, and EP studies may be used to determine the risk of sudden death. Overall, monitoring and follow-up are crucial in managing cardiac sarcoid patients.
