Background Isolated cardiac sarcoid (iCS) is reported to have more severe clinical presentation and greater risk of adverse events compared with cardiac sarcoid (CS) with extracardiac involvement (nonisolated CS). Delays in diagnosing specific organ involvement may play a role in these described differences. Methods and Results A retrospective observational study of patients with CS over a 20‐year period was conducted. Objective evidence of organ involvement and time of onset based on consensus criteria were identified. CS was confirmed by histology in all patients from myocardium only (iCS) or extracardiac tissue (nonisolated CS). The primary end point was a composite of mortality, orthotopic heart transplant, and durable left ventricular assist device implantation. CS was isolated in 9 of 50 patients (18%). Among baseline characteristics, iCS and nonisolated CS differed significantly only in the frequency of sustained ventricular tachycardia at presentation (78% versus 37%; P=0.03) and delay in CS diagnosis >6 months (67% versus 5%; P |
