Two dimensional echocardiography and left ventriculography in cardiac sarcoidosis.
A 48-year-old woman with histologically proven pulmonary sarcoidosis presented with congestive heart failure. Two dimensional echocardiography showed a peculiarly ragged appearance at the left ventricular apex which was confirmed on left ventriculography. This echocardiographic finding has not been previously described in cardiac sarcoidosis.
