Hypocalcemic heart failure: a reversible form of heart muscle disease

Clinical Cardiology
T SuzukiK Shimada

Abstract

This paper reports the case of a 53-year-old woman with hypocalcemia-induced reversible cardiomyopathy. Laboratory tests showed hypocalcemia caused by idiopathic hypoparathyroidism. Her left ventricular dysfunction persisted for a long period even after normalization of the serum calcium level. Observations suggest that physicians should be aware that hypocalcemia can be a reversible cause of cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure.
