Cover Story: Sarcoidosis is a multifaceted and multisystemic inflammatory disorder, the etiology of which remains unknown. However, it has been suggested that an intricate interplay between genetic, environmental, and inflammatory factors may contribute to the development and progression of sarcoidosis. Although 30–50% of patients demonstrate extra-pulmonary manifestations, cardiac involvement is rare, affecting only 2–5% of cases. Diagnosis is often challenging, relying on the careful application of clinical judgment, histopathological evidence, and imaging biomarkers. View this paper
