Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disorder of unknown etiology which is characterized by the formation of non-caseating granulomas in involved tissues. Cardiac involvement is one of the least common manifestations and it can occur at any point of time during the course of sarcoidosis. Here we present the case of 2 patients with known sarcoidosis who develop cardiac abnormalities in the absence of known primary cardiac cause. In our report, we would like to draw attention to the importance of considering heart involvement in any case with systemic sarcoidosis especially in young age.
结节病是一种病因不明的多系统疾病，其特征是受累组织中形成非干酪样肉芽肿。心脏受累是最不常见的表现之一，可在结节病病程中的任何时间出现。在此，我们报告2例已知患有结节病的患者，他们在没有已知原发性心脏病因的情况下出现了心脏异常。在我们的报告中，我们希望提请注意在任何系统性结节病病例中，尤其是在年轻患者中，考虑心脏受累的重要性。
