- Title:
- Management of hypercalcaemia-induced heart failure using mechanical circulatory support.
- Abstract:
- Acute heart failure is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Heart failure is caused by various conditions, including electrolyte imbalances. We report a rare case of hypercalcaemia-induced acute heart failure complicated by cardiogenic shock. Mechanical circulatory support was used successfully in this patient until calcium homeostasis was restored.
