The prevalence of cardiac involvement in sarcoidosis is under‐recognized and is associated with multiple complications, including conduction block, arrhythmias, and sudden death. The comparative roles of common therapies have been inadequately studied. The purpose of this review is to examine the literature regarding treatments utilized to manage arrhythmias associated with cardiac sarcoidosis.
