[Cardiac changes in patients with hypercalcemia].
Patients with hypercalcaemia have a markedly greater risk of dying from cardiovascular disease than normocalcaemic age- and sex-matched controls. Cardiovascular findings in hypercalcaemic patients frequently include characteristic ECG changes, left ventricular hypertrophy, and myocardial calcific deposits. Furthermore, these subjects have a higher incidence of angina pectoris and calcification of the heart valves. Baseline screening for hypercalcaemia should include ECG and echocardiography.
