Prognosis and risk stratification in cardiac sarcoidosis patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.

CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrates that CS patients with preserved LVEF have better long-term prognosis than those with reduced LVEF in general. However, we should carefully follow them up, since chronological reduction in LVEF and persistent RV pacing could predict worse prognosis in those patients.
