Hypocalcemic Cardiomyopathy and Pseudohypoparathyroidism Due to Severe Vitamin D Deficiency.

چکیده
Hypocalcemic cardiomyopathy is a rare entity. We describe a patient with severe heart failure, decreased ejection fraction and global hypokinesia documented on echocardiogram, associated with severe hypocalcemia, very low vitamin D status, increased QT intervals, increased BNP (serum brain natriuretic peptide) levels and CPK (creatine phosphokinase) levels. All these defects reversed on treatment with vitamin D and calcium within a few days without any specific cardiac intervention.

متن کاملAn unusual case of hyperphosphatemia in a vitamin D-deficient patient with tuberculosis
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with several alterations in mineral metabolism [1]. Initially, the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism maintains normal circulating 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25-vitamin D) and serum calcium values, but both these values decrease in advanced vitamin D deficiency. Serum phosphorus values usually decrease because of secondary hyperparathyroidism, but ra...
