Irreversible End‐stage Heart Failure in a Young Patient due to Severe Chronic Hypocalcemia Associated with Primary Hypoparathyroidism and Celiac Disease

Abstract

This case demonstrates an unusual clinical condition where 2 calcium homeostasis disorders led to severe hypocalcemia with clinical manifestations of end-stage heart failure. The severe cardiac failure appeared to be nonreversible after calcium repletion suggesting permanent cardiac muscle dysfunction due to associated cardiomyopathy.
