Spontaneous remission is often observed in extracardiac cases of sarcoidosis, such as skin sarcoidosis. However, for cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), the prognosis is unfavorable. Although corticosteroids are the first-line treatment for CS, data regarding the natural history of isolated CS are limited. We describe a rare case of isolated CS with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction that improved without steroid therapy.
在皮肤结节病等心脏外结节病病例中,常可观察到自发缓解。然而,对于心脏结节病(CS),预后不佳。虽然皮质类固醇是 CS 的一线治疗药物,但关于孤立性 CS 的自然病史的数据有限。我们描述了一例罕见的孤立性 CS 伴有严重左心室收缩功能障碍的病例,该病例在未接受类固醇治疗的情况下得到改善。
