Sarcoidosis

Posted By Ken Dunwoody on December 03, 1998 at 15:26:10:







Diognosed with Premature Ventricular Contractions 2 years ago and on Dilacor 120mg @ since.  Ultr-Sound showed no sign of heart disease at that time.  Two months ago following lung biopsy, diognosed with Sarcoidosis and now also on Prednisone 40 Mg @.  I have read that PVC's can be caused by Sarcoidosis in the heart.  Is this true?  How could this be confirmed short of another biopsy?  Should I ask my PCP for referral to Card Specialist?  Another Ultr-Sound in order?  FYI- Also my Angiotension Converting Enzymes are very high, typical of Sarc.   Thank you.
