Exosome-based Omic Signatures of Disease Activity in Cardiac Sarcoidosis (EXODACS)

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.
