Abstract: (149 Views)
Introduction: Dilated cardiomyopathy following total thyroidectomy is an unusual, very rare event, which is intractable to conventional therapies for heart failure. Case Presentation: We report dilated cardiomyopathy in a 48-year-old woman after total thyroidectomy, by diminishing the left ventricular ejection fraction and transient ventricular tachycardia, which is identified as the manifestation of rapid hypocalcemic situation. Conclusions: This study indicates the importance of electrolyte disturbance correction for hypocalcemia as a rare cause of cardiomyopathy and emphasizes the immediate treatment of this disorder for the enhancement of patient prognosis.
