[Atrial-triggered pacemaker-system in a patient with total AV-block caused by sarcoidosis of the heart (author's transl)].
The possible effects of sarcoidosis of the heart on the conduction system and their treatment are discussed. In the underlying case this rare cardiac manifestation of sarcoidosis resulted in a total AV-block. Rehabilitation of the young patient was facilitated by implantation of an atrial-triggered pacemaker-system which is the best possible way of therapy.
