摘要
A patient presented with severe heart failure due to myocardial sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis was diagnosed by biopsy of the skin and uptake of gallium-67 in the heart. We treated the patient with corticosteroids and succeeded in improving her condition. We assume that this was a rare case in which severe heart failure improved following with steroid therapy.
