ABSTRACT
Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease with granulomatous lesions, and cardiac involvement occurs in 20~60% of patients. Isolated cardiac sarcoidosis is extremely rare, and heart transplantation can be performed, if indicated, contingent upon the absence of systemic manifestations of the disease. We present a case of isolated cardiac sarcoidosis with progressive heart failure, which was successfully managed by heart transplantation.
