Hypocalcemia is a rare, yet potentially reversible cause of dilated cardiomyopathy, with the most frequent underlying cause being hypoparathyroidism. This case report presents the case of a 74-year-old patient with dilated cardiomyopathy developing due to long-term hypocalcemia. Following calcium supplementation, the patient's condition improved as did ventricular contractile function, and signs of heart failure resolved.

Keywords: Dilated cardiomyopathy, Hypocalcemia, Hypoparathyroidism
