Hypocalcaemia causes neuromuscular and myocardial symptoms, including QT interval prolongation, and cardiac arrhythmias. Prompt detection and calcium replacement may reverse the pathology, following which the underlying cause should be diagnosed and treated to prevent recurrence. I present the case of a young man presenting with collapse who was found to have sinus rhythm with significant QT interval prolongation on admission electrocardiogram (ECG) associated with profound hypocalcaemia secondary to primary hypoparathyroidism.
低钙血症会引发神经肌肉和心肌症状，包括QT间期延长以及心律失常。及时检测并补充钙剂可能会逆转病理状态，之后应诊断并治疗潜在病因以防止复发。我报告一例年轻男性患者，因晕厥就诊，入院心电图（ECG）显示窦性心律伴显著QT间期延长，与原发性甲状旁腺功能减退继发的严重低钙血症相关。
