Subspecialty Expertise in Rare Heart Conditions
Cardiac amyloidosis and cardiac sarcoidosis are infiltrative and inflammatory diseases that affect the heart muscle — conditions that require specialized knowledge to diagnose and treat. Our cardiology team fellowship training at Mount Sinai Hospital provides the advanced expertise needed to evaluate, diagnose, and manage these complex conditions that most community cardiologists are not equipped to handle.
If you or your physician suspects an infiltrative heart disease, access to a specialist with fellowship-level training in these rare conditions is critical. Schedule a consultation today.
- One of few cardiologists in the region with fellowship-level training in cardiac amyloidosis and sarcoidosis
- Advanced diagnostic evaluation including specialized imaging and biomarker analysis
- Individualized treatment plans informed by the latest evidence-based therapies

Key Benefits of Cardiac Amyloidosis & Sarcoidosis
Cardiac amyloidosis and sarcoidosis are frequently underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed because they mimic more
common heart conditions. Accurate diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion and specialized testing that goes
beyond standard cardiac evaluation. Early identification is critical — especially for amyloidosis, where new
disease-modifying therapies are now available that can slow or halt disease progression when started early.
Frequently asked question
Cardiac amyloidosis is a condition in which abnormal proteins (amyloid) deposit in the heart muscle, causing it to stiffen and impair its ability to pump effectively. It can cause heart failure, arrhythmias, and other serious complications if not properly diagnosed and treated.
Cardiac sarcoidosis occurs when inflammatory cells (granulomas) form in the heart tissue, potentially causing arrhythmias, heart block, or heart failure. It requires specialized evaluation including advanced imaging and often immunosuppressive therapy.
These are rare, complex diseases that present differently from common heart conditions. Fellowship training in advanced heart failure provides the specific knowledge needed for accurate diagnosis, appropriate testing, and access to the latest treatment protocols.
