Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Complicated by Cardiac Sarcoidosis Diagnosed by Both the Morphological Abnormalities and the Time Course of the Disease.

In this study, we report a patient who had initially been diagnosed with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). The patient developed complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) and morphological abnormalities, which led to his primary diagnosis being re-conducted. Moreover, we made a definite diagnose of isolated CS (ICS) based on the guideline for the diagnosis and treatment using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT)1) and performed tailor-made treatment including immunosuppressive therapy.
