IntroductionCardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is an increasingly recognized cause of cardiac disease. Because the clinical presentation of CS is non-specific, the diagnosis is often delayed. Early detection is essential to initiate treatments that reduce the risk of heart failure (HF) and arrhythmic death. We therefore aimed to describe the features of CS hospitalizations during which the initial diagnosis of CS is made.MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of hospitalizations from 2016 to 2019 in
