Abstract

A 30 year old man was admitted because of electrocardiographic abnormalities. Echocardiography revealed left ventricular aneurysms at the apex and the mid-inferior wall. The histological diagnosis by endomyocardial biopsy was sarcoidosis. Treatment with prednisolone was done. This is a rare case of multiple left ventricular aneurysms due to sarcoidosis, which was detected early by echocardiography.
