Abstract

A 48-year-old Asian woman collapsed at home without prodrome in May, 2010. Her husband started basic life support, and paramedics successfully cardioverted her from ventricular fibrillation. History included pulmonary sarcoidosis diagnosed 9 years previously after a presentation with breathlessness, erythema nodosum, and mildly raised serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) concentration (82 u/L, normal <70 u/L). She was treated with a short course of oral corticosteroids, but had declined biopsy or further treatment and had been symptom-free for 2 years.
