Freiman2states that cardiac lesions occur in a fair percentage of cases of sarcoidosis but that serious complications leading to cardiac symptomatology are rare. Many cases no doubt show cardiac effects as a result of chronic cor pulmonale secondary to pulmonary sarcoidosis.3, 4In Scotti and McKeown's review, only three cases...Bibliography1.
