Sarcoidosis and the Heart

Sarcoidosis most commonly targets the lungs, but the disease can also affect the heart, a condition called cardiac sarcoidosis. Researchers who study sarcoidosis estimate that cardiac sarcoidosis affects more than 10 percent of people who have sarcoidosis in the United States, and perhaps as many as 25 percent. For this reason, and because heart problems are serious and should be diagnosed and treated as early as possible, people who have sarcoidosis should discuss being screened for cardiac sarcoidosis with their doctors. This brochure was produced with a donation made in memory of Ken Felts whose life was cut short due to undiagnosed cardiac sarcoidosis.
