Cardiac sarcoidosis presents with various clinical, anatomical, and electrophysiological manifestations. As cardiac involvement is related to adverse outcomes, the early diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis is crucial and sometimes challenging.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Case summary<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A 65-year-old woman was initially treated for sick sinus syndrome (SSS) with normal cardiac function. Cardiac conduction defects and biventricular dysfunction continued to progress over a short clinical course, and the patient was eventually referred to our hospital for further investigation and treatment of cardiogenic shock due to pacemaker pacing failure. An echocardiography revealed a large thrombus formation in the right ventricle and atrium. An urgent thrombectomy was performed, and myocardial biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis. Steroid pulse therapy was initiated and was effective in treating the cardiogenic shock. One year after discharge, the patient manifested with sustained ventricular tachycardia and ultimately died of severe cardiac pump failure. On autopsy, diffuse fibrotic tissues were noted in both ventricles and atria.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>While conduction abnormalities, such as right bundle brunch block and atrioventricular block, are common clinical manifestations, SSS is rarely reported as a primary manifestation of cardiac sarcoidosis. Thus, clinicians should ensure that sufficient investigations are carried out when diagnosing idiopathic SSS.<\/jats:p>\n
