Its association with cardiovascular outcomes is under-documented.
UNASSIGNED: The aim of this study was to assess the adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with sarcoidosis compared with that of non-sarcoidosis.
UNASSIGNED: 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).
UNASSIGNED: 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 was 13.1% (95% CI 1% to 70%). The overall mean age was 47 years. The most common comorbidities were hypertension (12.7% vs 12.5%), and diabetes mellitus (5.5% vs 4%) respectively. The pooled analysis of primary endpoints showed that all-cause mortality (RR, 2.08; 95% CI: 1.17 to 3.08; p = 0.01) was significantly increased in sarcoidosis patients. The pooled analysis of secondary endpoints showed that the incidence of VT (RR, 15.3; 95% CI: 5.39 to 43.42); p < 0.001), HF (RR, 4.96; 95% CI: 2.02 to 12.14; p < 0.001) and AA (RR, 2.55; 95% CI: 1.47 to 4.44); p = 0.01) were significantly higher with sarcoidosis respectively compared to non-sarcoidosis.
UNASSIGNED: Incidence of VT, HF and AA was significantly higher in patients with CS. Clinicians should be aware of these adverse cardiovascular events associated with sarcoidosis.
