Due to its low incidence, isolated cardiac sarcoidosis (ICS) is often missed or misdiagnosed. Herein, we describe a case of ICS in a 52-year-old male patient. Advanced imaging, including cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), could not only screen high-risk patients for establishing diagnosis, but also guide endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) for improving cardiac disease detection rate. This case highlights the importance of multimodal imaging for screening and necessity of EMB for diagnosis.
