Cardiac sarcoidosis is a disease of young adults. In most cases, it presents with sudden death, arrhythmia, conduction disorders, heart failure, or cardiomyopathy. The authors describe a young Indo-Asian man with cardiac sarcoidosis who presented acutely with chest pain and malignant cardiac arrhythmias. The diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis should be considered in all young patients with unexplained arrhythmias or heart failure or in cases of sudden death.
心脏结节病是一种好发于年轻人的疾病。在大多数情况下，其表现为猝死、心律失常、传导障碍、心力衰竭或心肌病。作者描述了一名患有心脏结节病的年轻印度裔亚洲男性，他急性发作胸痛和恶性心律失常。对于所有不明原因的心律失常或心力衰竭的年轻患者，或猝死病例，均应考虑心脏结节病的诊断。
