"TB OR NOT TB: That is the Question."

Myocarditis due to granulomatous inflammation is being increasingly recognised compared to past when the diagnosis was usually made during autopsy. It comprises cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), cardiac tuberculosis (CTB) and other rare granulomatous disorders. It presents as ventricular tachycardias, atrio-ventricular conduction blocks with or without cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Paucity of constitutional symptoms and lack of awareness results in delayed diagnosis.
