Article Synopsis
- - A 63-year-old woman arrived at an emergency room experiencing dizziness, palpitations, and low blood pressure; she was diagnosed with ventricular tachycardia and electrolyte imbalances (low magnesium and calcium levels).
- - Despite treatment with IV amiodarone and magnesium, her tachycardia only resolved after her serum calcium levels were corrected.
- - The patient had a history of left ventricular dysfunction discovered 19 years earlier but was unaware and not on any medication; the case suggests a possible link between her underlying heart condition and the rare occurrence of hypocalcemia-related ventricular tachycardia.
