Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to develop a prospective cohort of patients with and without cardiac sarcoidosis as well as active and inactive disease to develop a prospective biobank from which exosome analysis of peripheral blood will derive unique biomarkers of disease activity in cardiac sarcoidosis.
Interventions
Blood Samples will undergo exosome profiling using mass spectrometry and/or other discovery-based approaches
