 According to some case reports, extreme hypocalcemia induced by vitamin D and calcium deficiency leads to heart failure. This rare clinical entity “Hypocalcemic cardiomyopathy” is also reported in elderly patients as well as infants. In patients with chronic kidney disease and heart failure, hypocalcemia is reported to predict worse outcome. Prescription of active vitamin D or its analogues is associated with lower rates of cardiovascular events in predialysis and dialysis patients, however indication biases often seen in observational studies cannot preclude the possibility that the benefit of these agents is limited to patients with high parathyroid hormone(PTH)levels. In fact, J-DAVID study, a randomized controlled trial from Japan, clearly showed that oral administration of alfacalcidol of 0.5 μg/day did not reduce cardiovascular events in hemodialysis patients with intact PTH<180 pg/mL.
