Ventricular tachyarrhythmia as a primary presentation of sarcoidosis
2008
Europace
Preserved Fulltext
Aims Sarcoidosis is a multisystem, granulomatous disease with occasional cardiac manifestations. The clinical course of patients with ventricular tachyarrhythmias as a primary presentation of sarcoidosis is mostly unknown. Methods and results We describe nine patients (four males and five females) in whom sarcoidosis manifested as ventricular tachycardia (VT). The age of the patients was 53 + 10 years (range 33-68). The disease was diagnosed by endomyocardial biopsy in eight patients and by

... h node biopsy in one patient. The presenting arrhythmia varied from non-sustained VT to incessant VT and ventricular fibrillation. All patients received implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and anti-arrhythmic medication. High-dose steroid treatment was used in eight cases. During the follow-up (50 + 34 months), five patients underwent appropriate ICD therapies and non-sustained VT episodes were detected in four patients. Two patients developed incessant VT, which was treated by catheter ablation. One patient was referred for heart transplantation. Conclusion Our data indicate that sarcoidosis can manifest as VT without any detectable systemic findings. This makes sarcoidosis an important diagnostic consideration in patients with VT of unknown origin. Arrhythmia control in cardiac sarcoidosis is difficult, and all modern treatments including high-dose steroids, anti-arrhythmic drugs, ICD, and catheter ablation are needed to suppress the arrhythmias.

Among 173 consecutive open lung biopsies, nine gave a histopathological diagnosis of bronchiolitis. Seven of these patients had some connective tissue disorder (CTD), six of whom are presented in this report; two had classical and one possible rheumatoid arthritis (RA), one ankylosing spondylitis, one scleroderma, and one developed classical RA four years after biopsy. Four of the patients were smokers, most suffered from breathlessness and cough. In terms of lung function three patients had

... truction, one both restriction and obstruction and three a decreased diffusion capacity. For control purposes peripheral lung tissue was studied histologically from 24 consecutive smoking patients without CTD who underwent a lobectomy for cancer. Intraluminal plugs and mucosal lymphoplasmocytic infiltration of the bronchiolar walls were more prevalent and abundant in the CTD patients than in the controls (p<0-02 and p<O-OOl respectively). Two CTD patients also showed some obliterative bronchiolitis. Corticosteroids were effective in one out of four patients treated. One patient improved and the others did not show any progression during the follow up. The results suggest that smoking alone does not explain the lesions of the small airways found in CTD patients, and that bronchiolitis may be specifically associated with the basic disorder in such cases.

Markers of collagen metabolism may possibly be used in the assessment of pulmonary involvement in asbestosis-related pulmonary diseases. In this study the levels of the carboxyterminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PICP) and the aminoterminal propeptide of type III procollagen (PIIINP) were evaluated in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), epithelial lining fluid (ELF) and serum from patients with asbestos related pulmonary and pleural involvement. Forty-two consecutive patients with

... ional exposure to asbestos fibres, who underwent bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) at the time of the diagnosis were investigated. Five patients were diagnosed as having asbestosis, while 37 showed no parenchymal involvement. Of the latter group, 25 had pleural plaques, while 12 had no detectable changes in chest radiographs. The patients were followedup for an average of 7 yrs. The PICP in BALF and ELF was detectable in all patients with asbestosis and in 8/ 37 subjects without parenchymal involvement. The levels of PICP in BALF and ELF were significantly higher in the asbestosis group compared to the patients without asbestosis (9.81.8 mg . L -1 versus 0.61.3 mg . L -1 , p<0.001 and 488.9208.8 mg . L -1 versus 22.650.6 mg . L -1 , p<0.001, respectively). Only 1 patient with asbestosis and 3 patients without parenchymal involvement had detectable levels of PIIINP in BALF. The serum levels of PICP and PIIINP did not differ between the patients with asbestosis and those with exposure to asbestos fibres without asbestosis and were within the normal range. None of the 37 patients exposed to asbestos fibres without parenchymal involvement at the baseline developed asbestosis during the follow-up period of 7 yrs. In conclusion, the data show that the carboxyterminal propeptide of procollagen type I, but not the aminoterminal propeptide of type III procollagen is highly elevated in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and epithelial lining fluid in patients with asbestosis, but not in those without parenchymal involvement. This suggests that the determination of carboxyterminal propeptide of procollagen type I in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid could be used as a marker of parenchymal involvement in patients exposed to asbestos fibres.
