Summary
This study aimed to create and test a new questionnaire called CARD-SARC that measures how cardiac sarcoidosis affects patients' daily lives and well-being. Researchers worked with 130 adults diagnosed with cardiac sarcoidosis at two NHS specialist centres. The goal was to develop a reliable tool that doctors can use to track changes in quality of life over time.
