Sarcoid

I have pulmonary sarcoidosis----I know that this disease can
go into my heart. If you are familiar with cardiac sarcoidosis, could you tell me what symptoms I would have should it ever
enter my heart? I realize that for many, the symptom is heart attack but there are a few who don't get to that point.
Thank you
Lynne

Cardiac sarcoidosis presents as heart failure, shortness of breath, leg swelling, etc. It does not usually cause heart attacks.
