Association between sarcoidosis and cardiovascular Outcomes: A systematic review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sarcoidosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology associated with high morbidity and mortality. Its association with cardiovascular outcomes is under-documented.

Aim

The aim of this study was to assess the adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with sarcoidosis compared with that of non-sarcoidosis.

Methodology

Online databases including PubMed, Embase and Scopus were queried from inception until March 2022. The outcomes assessed included all-cause mortality (ACM) and incidence of ventricular tachycardia (VT), heart failure (HF) and atrial arrhythmias (AA).

Result

A total of 6 studies with 22,539,096 participants (42,763 Sarcoidosis, 22,496,354 Non-Sarcoidosis) were included in this analysis. The pooled prevalence of sarcoidosis
