Question Title: SarcoidosisForum: The Heart Forum
| |
On meds (Dilacor) 2 years for Premature Ventricular Contractions. Two months ago following lung biopsy, diognosed with Sarcoidosis. Seeing Cardiologist next week. There may be a connection, any suggested questions? Thank You. Ken --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Ken Ask about whether there is any evidence that the sarcoid has affected either your heart muscle or heart’s electrical conduction system. Ask about whether you need an EKG, echo or Holter monitor. Mention any symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness or shortness of breath. I hope this has been useful. Feel free to write back with further questions. Good luck. Information provided here is of a general nature. Specific diagnoses and treatments can only be made by your doctor. If you would like to be seen at the Cleveland Clinic, please call 1-800-CCF-CARE for an appointment with a cardiologist at Desk F15.
