    Author: Tomar M, Radhakrishnan S, Shrivastava S.
    Journal: Indian Pediatr; 2010 Sep; 47(9):781-3. PubMed ID: 21048260.
    Abstract:
    Hypocalcemia is a curable cause of myocardial dysfunction and clinical congestive cardiac failure, with only stray reports available in literature. We describe 15 infants presenting with severe left ventricular dysfunction, who were found to have hypocalcemia with or without hypomagnesemia. Vitamin D deficiency was identified as the main cause of hypocalcemia. These children improved on supplementation of vitamin D and calcium.
