摘要
Introduction: In both pediatric and adult populations, hypocalcemia-induced heart failure is an extremely rare presentation. The aim of the current study is to report a case of reversible heart failure caused by severe hypocalcemia resulting from hypoparathyroidism, which was resolved by correcting the serum calcium level. Case report: A 29-year-old female presented with orthopnea, dyspnea on mild exertion, and bilateral lower limb swelling. She had a positive Trousseau's sign. Vital signs were stable except for tachycardia. On chest auscultation, there were bilateral basal fine inspiratory crackles. She was immediately treated as a case of pulmonary edema with intravenous furosemide and oxygen therapy. Subsequent treatment for correcting the hypocalcemia was then initiated. Discussion: Hypocalcemia has been proven to influence cardiac function, resulting in lower cardiac contractility as determined by decreased left ventricular work index, stroke index, and cardiac index. In rare circumstances, the clinical, biochemical (elevation of cardiac enzymes), electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic data may lead to an incorrect diagnosis of an acute ischemic attack. Conclusion: Hypocalcemia as a possible factor leading to heart failure should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all individuals with congestive heart failure.
