Hypocalcemia is a rare reversible cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and congestive heart failure; however, there are few reported cases, especially in infants. We describe 12 infants presenting with DCM and congestive cardiac failure who were found to have hypocalcemia. Vitamin D deficiency was the cause of hypocalcemia in all cases. The infants improved on supplementation with vitamin D and calcium.
低钙血症是扩张型心肌病(DCM)和充血性心力衰竭的一种罕见可逆病因;然而,报道的病例很少,尤其是在婴儿中。我们描述了12例表现为DCM和充血性心力衰竭且被发现有低钙血症的婴儿。所有病例中,维生素D缺乏是低钙血症的病因。这些婴儿在补充维生素D和钙后病情有所改善。
