Hypocalcaemia mimicking long QT syndrome: case report.

Jasveer S Mangat1, Jan Till, Nicola Bridges.   

Abstract

We describe a teenage girl who presented with syncope on exertion and prolonged QT on electrocardiogram (ECG). She was found to be hypocalcaemic due to hypoparathyroidism. Following oral calcium and vitamin D supplementation, there were no further episodes of syncope with normalization of the QT segment. This case highlights the need to consider all causes of a long QT segment.
