Cardiac Sarcoidosis Clinic

Overview

We offer a multidisciplinary approach that includes specialised cardiologists, electrophysiologists, cardiac surgeons, geneticists, nurses and pharmacists. Our expert heart team manages all aspects of cardiac sarcoidosis care including

- Endomyocardial biopsy
- Rheumatology and respiratory consultations
- Bronchoscopy and extra-cardiac biopsy
- Advanced cardiac imaging (cardiac MRI and cardiac PET)
- Pharmacotherapy including immune suppression
- Arrhythmia management and ablation procedures
- Sudden cardiac death risk stratification and prevention with implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICD) including subcutaneous ICDs (S-ICD)
- Cardiac transplantation
- Clinical trials through research collaborations with Monash University and the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute

Cardiac sarcoidosis is a complex diagnosis which may be mimicked by a number of rare conditions. A secondary purpose of our clinic is to investigate complex patients with undifferentiated cardiomyopathy and to on-refer them to our in-house expert colleagues who manage other conditions such as cardiac amyloidosis, myocarditis and other ischaemic or non-ischaemic cardiomyopathies.

Our goal at Alfred Cardiology is to facilitate the best standard of care for patients with cardiac sarcoidosis. We aim to collaborate with referring practitioners in a shared-care model and encourage referrals and consultations.
