Background: Although endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is the criterion standard for diagnosis of infiltrative cardiac disease, cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) or cardiac amyloid can be diagnosed noninvasively through both clinical suspicion and advanced imaging techniques of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) or cardiac positron emission tomography (PET).
Case Summary: A 79-year-old man with mediastinal sarcoidosis presented with new chest pain and a right bundle branch block, raising concern for CS. CMR and cardiac PET also supported the diagnosis of CS, but EMB ultimately revealed transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy.

Masquerading bundle branch block (MBBB) is a rare presentation of bifascicular blocks. It is the result of a right bundle branch block associated with an advanced left anterior fascicular block due to extensive damage to the conduction system. We present the case of a 75-year-old male with late onset presentation anterior wall myocardial infarction (MI) with ongoing ischemia (which evolved into a ventricular septal defect [VSD]).
