Great article on cardiac sarcoidosis

[Guest guest]

Hi Tracie and all,I read a great article on cardiac sarcoidosis and a couple of case studies (older article but it still is pertinent) from Chest Journal. I tried to copy and paste so could provide a direct link but wasn't able to do this. So here is the web address:www.chestjournal.org/cgi/reprint/60/4/379.pdfI found this by googling: PVC sarcoidosis numerousThe article came up under google as The Heart in Sarcoidosis.I found it really helpful b/c it showed EKG strips and talked about some things I have experienced. I have had a "T-wave" inversion since my sarcoidosis was first dx and b/c many drs don't know about this they wouldn't recognize this as a cardiac sarcoidosis indicator. Also, my "ST" segment on one of my EKG leads shows an elevation which can be another indicator (been there for 14 yrs). There is much more to the article but thought this was good info to share.Blessings,Becky
