Severe hypercalcemia from primary hyperparathyroidism can cause dangerous heart rhythm problems, including tachy-brady syndrome. This case highlights the critical link between calcium levels and cardiac function.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Endocrinology
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Hypercalcemia is known to affect cardiac function and electrocardiogram (ECG) findings.
  • Arrhythmias due to hypercalcemia are infrequently reported, especially in the context of primary hyperparathyroidism.

Observation:

  • This report details a patient with severe hypercalcemia.
  • The hypercalcemia was secondary to primary hyperparathyroidism.

Findings:

  • The patient presented with tachy-brady syndrome, a complex arrhythmia.
  • This syndrome was directly attributed to the severe hypercalcemia.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of monitoring cardiac function in patients with hypercalcemia.

  • Recognizing hypercalcemia as a cause of tachy-brady syndrome is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
  • Primary hyperparathyroidism should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unexplained arrhythmias.
