A rare cause of dilated cardiomyopathy: hypocalcemia

Abstract: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by systolic dysfunction and is usually idiopathic. A rare cause of reversible DCM is hypocalcemia. Calcium plays a key role in myocardial contraction. Hypocalcemia can lead to a decrease in contraction, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (EF). Hypocalcemia-related reversible DCM reports are rare. Herein, we present two cases with heart failure caused by hypocalcemia developed due to hypoparathyroidism. The first … Show more

“…Voltage‐sensitive L‐type calcium channels trigger the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Hypocalcemia can impair this process, leading to reduced contractility and left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction 6 . Calcium supplementation can reverse DCM due to hypocalcemia, but if the condition becomes severe, permanent structural damage may occur.…”
