In the past 5 years, there has been a tremendous increase in interest regarding diagnosis and management the cardiac involvement in sarcoidosis. This includes new imaging techniques, new evidence-based guidelines regarding diagnosis and treatment, as well as results of registries providing information regarding the outcome of disease. With this new information, the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac sarcoidosis has become better served. Many centres are now developing multi-disciplinary clinics and conferences to evaluate and treat these patients. These clinics highlight the problem that many different specialities are involved in the care of these patients. A book focusing on the different aspects of the disease will give a reference source for these efforts.
Cardiac Sarcoidosis: A Multi-discipline Approach focuses on an important aspect of sarcoidosis: cardiac involvement. From pathology to diagnosis and screening of the disease through treatment options, the book comprehensively reviews known knowledge and explores emerging topics in the field, accompanied by illustrative cases and evidence-based recommendations in outlining the best disease management practices. The book is written by international experts in the field and serves as an essential reference for both clinicians and researchers on cardiac sarcoidosis.
