Left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction leading to heart failure (HF) is known to occur after permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) in a subset of patients. They are often treated by upgradation of the pacemaker to cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT). We report a case of progressive LV dysfunction and HF after PPI. Cardiac 18FDG-PET-CT scan revealed abnormal myocardial FDG uptake suggestive of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). Biopsy from FDG avid lymph node demonstrated non-caseating granuloma. Therapy with steroids resulted in resolution of HF symptoms accompanied by a significant improvement in LV function. Keywords: CRT upgradation, Cardiac sarcoidosis, Pacemaker induced LV dysfunction, Steroids |
