Hypercalcemia and the cardiovascular system

چکیده
Hypercalcemia, acute and chronic, irrespective of the cause, is known to have effects on the heart and the vascular system that are potentially life-threatening. Some of these effects include accelerated atherosclerosis, uncontrolled hypertension, structural effects, and progressive cardiac dysfunction. This case report demonstrates the effects of hyperparathyroidism-induced hypercalcemia on the cardiovascular system and clinical management in a patient with hypertension that was difficult to control.

متن کاملPREVALENCE OF HYPERCALCEMIA AND HYPERCALCIURIA IN THYROTOXIC PATIENTS OF A REFERRAL ENDOCRINE CLINIC
Many patients with thyrotoxicosis develop hypercalciuria and nypercalcemia. Urine calcium excretion depends on diet, latitude and sunshine exposure. With regard to variation of these indices in different geographical regions, we conducted a one-year study on 202 patients, 65 males and 137 females, with thyrotoxicosis of varying severity. The mean age of patients was 35.24±11.95 and 35.87±1...
