Abstract

Abstract: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and cardiac sarcoidosis can both present with ventricular tachycardia. We report a case of a patient whose histological diagnosis was not only confirmed by the transplanted heart but who also underwent successful transplantation after overcoming COVID-19. <Learning objective: Similarities in the clinical presentation of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) Management differences between CS and ARVC Successful heart transplantation after COVID-19.>
