Cardiac sarcoidosis is a life-threatening condition characterized by the formation of granulomas in the heart, and can lead to heart failure, heart block, or rhythm disturbance.

In this Review, Hamzeh et al. discuss the current screening and management protocols used to identify and treat patients with cardiac sarcoidosis.
