Introduction Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory granulomatous disease of unknown cause, related to genetic factors, with an incidence of 1 to 30 cases/100,000 people, and is more prevalent in women over 50 years of age. The formation of scar tissue characterizes it and can affect any organ, with a predilection for the lungs in approximately 90% of cases. Patients with cardiac involvement are mainly male and, in general, have a worse prognosis, with high mortality rates observed in this population […]

Sarcoidosis is a chronic multisystemic disease of unknown etiology, histologically determined by the formation of non-caseating granulomas in various organs of the body, which can also affect heart tissues, resulting in cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). This disease continues to be enigmatic in such a way that, since its first description (1929), and over the years, the exact mechanism of its pathogenesis has still not been clarified, with the possibility of the existence of an important component of genetic predisposition added to […]

The most frequent form of restrictive cardiomyopathy is cardiac amyloidosis (CA), which can be considered a benchmark since, with the availability of diagnostic technologies, its detection has been made much more frequent, associated with the fact that there are effective treatment possibilities.
