Abstract

The most frequent cause of ventricular tachycardia in our environment is, by far, chronic ischemic heart disease. However, there is also a less infrequent and more heterogeneous group of other causes that must be taken into account in the differential diagnosis. One of the most typical is sarcoidosis. We present a clinical case of cardiac sarcoidosis that is a good example of the typical pattern of the disease on imaging tests.
