Description
Anjali Wagle and colleagues ask in 2026 whether inherited heart-muscle disease and sarcoidosis can coexist and confuse diagnosis. The two conditions share imaging features, and three patients with gene-linked cardiomyopathies were later found to have sarcoidosis outside the heart.
Despite scans raising concern for heart sarcoidosis, only one patient showed active heart inflammation needing immune suppression, while the others were treated as primary genetic disease. The paper warns that heart imaging alone cannot settle the question, pushing clinicians toward careful, patient-by-patient judgment for cardiologists weighing immunosuppression in genetic heart disease.
