BACKGROUND: Ventricular arrhythmias (VA) account for at least 25% of deaths caused by cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) and may arise in patients with mildly impaired LVEF (>35%).
OBJECTIVE: In the current study, we examine whether EP study may be used for sudden death risk stratification in CS patients who have mildly impaired LVEF and a diagnosis of highly probable or probable CS according to the World Association of Sarcoidosis and Other Granulomatous Diseases Sarcoidosis Organ Assessment Instrument (WASOGI).
METHODS: All patients: (1) exhibited a diagnosis of highly probable or probable CS according to the WASOGI, (2) exhibited cardiac MRI findings consistent with CS, (3) exhibited LVEF >45% and (4) underwent EP study. Device interrogations, transmissions and medical records were reviewed for all patients.
RESULTS: We identified 46 CS patients with mildly impaired LVEF. VA were induced in 11 patients and 10/11 patients underwent ICD placement. Thirty-five patients had no VA and 24/35 patients underwent placement of an ILR. During the follow-up period, the VA event rate was 6.5%. The negative and positive predictive values of the EP study for the development of VA were 100% and 27.2%, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: In CS patients with mildly impaired LVEF and a diagnosis of highly probable or probable CS, a negative EP study was highly predictive of the absence of VA. The successful execution of future prospective studies is contingent upon enrollment of phenotypically homogenous cardiac sarcoidosis patients.
