  • Title: Congestive heart failure: an unusual presentation of pseudohypoparathyroidism.
    Author: Cho MJ, Ban KH, Park JA, Lee HD.
    Journal: Pediatr Emerg Care; 2013 Jul; 29(7):826-8. PubMed ID: 23823262.
    Abstract:
    We report on an infant presenting with acute cardiogenic shock. She was eventually diagnosed with pseudohypoparathyroidism, which is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by severe hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and increased parathyroid hormone. The patient responded dramatically to calcium and vitamin D supplementation; left ventricular systolic function was normalized within days of treatment. Although the diagnosis of pseudohypoparathyroidism is rare, this case is a reminder of the importance of obtaining calcium levels in patients presenting in acute cardiogenic shock.
