SarcoidOSIS is a systemic disease which can affect many systems in your body - primarily the lungs and other areas are susceptible as well, including the heart. Concentric hypertrophy may be a result of increase pressure on the right side of you heart due to the lung condition, or a result of cardiac involvement with sarcoidosis Check with the doc who established the Dx
