Since 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is recommended as an initial screening tool for cardiac sarcoidosis, the recognition of subtle abnormalities assumes utmost significance.

The findings were compared with those of an age-matched control group. Varying degrees of intraventricular conduction defects were common in the study group [67%], as well as the control group [57%] [<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.23].
