Infliximab Treatment of Refractory Cardiac Sarcoidosis.

Treatment of cardiac sarcoidosis is challenging, as the disease can be refractory to traditional treatment with steroids. Infliximab, a tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitor, has been reportedly used in cardiac sarcoidosis, but published evidence is limited. The potential cardiotoxicity of infliximab and the Food and Drug Administration black-box warning for patients with heart failure have hindered the use of this agent in cardiac sarcoidosis.
