Correlation of Electrophysiology and morphology in myocardial sarcoidosis. A case report.
A 44-year-old man with systemic sarcoidosis for 11 years developed myocardial sarcoidosis with left bundle branch block and recurrent ventricular tachycardia prior to death. Autopsy showed granulomas and fibrosis in the myocardium including the left ventricular free wall, septum and His bundle, particular the left bundle branch. This is in accordance with the ECG findings.
