Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Hypocalcaemia is a rare but reversible cause of dilated cardiomyopathy with limited cases being reported in the literature. Vitamin D deficiency is the main cause of hypocalcaemia in almost all reported cases. We report a newborn who presented with hypocalcaemia induced dilated cardiomyopathy secondary to Vitamin D deficiency. After calcium therapy, the baby showed a rapid recovery of the cardiac function.
