Cardiac Sarcoidosis Treatment In Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad

At Mayo Clinic, people with symptoms of cardiac sarcoidosis receive diagnosis and treatment from a team of experts in the Cardiac Sarcoidosis Clinic. These services are available at Mayo Clinic in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota.

Cardiac sarcoidosis is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes cells to clump together in a way that disrupts heart function. These clumps are called granulomas. This condition is a type of sarcoidosis. Cardiac sarcoidosis can mimic other conditions and go undiagnosed for years. It's important to talk with heart doctors (cardiologists) who understand the condition if you have symptoms such as palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath or a feeling that you're about to pass out.

There is no known cure for sarcoidosis, though the condition can clear up on its own. Treatment is focused on helping you manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life.

Why it’s done?

Our doctors have access to the latest tests and technology to help them arrive at the correct diagnosis and eliminate other causes of your symptoms. In seeking accurate answers, your doctor might have you undergo tests or procedures. These may include:

• Blood tests.
• Heart rhythm tests, such as an echocardiogram.
• Ultrasound imaging of the heart.
• Stress tests.
• Angiogram studies.
• Biopsy.
• MRI of the heart, though this can't be used in people with kidney disease as it uses an injected contrast agent that can cause problems for damaged kidneys.

Cardiac angiography is usually done only after non-invasive heart tests have been performed, such as an electrocardiogram, an echocardiogram or a stress test.
