Core Tip Cardiac sarcoidosis is a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by granulomatous inflammation of the myocardium, leading to conduction abnormalities, heart failure, and arrhythmias. This review highlights the central role of corticosteroid therapy in controlling myocardial inflammation and improving cardiac function. It also underscores the limitations of long-term steroid use and the importance of advanced imaging-such as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography-in guiding diagnosis, treatment, and arrhythmic risk stratification. A multidisciplinary approach, including immunosuppressive therapy and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator placement, is essential for optimal patient outcomes.
