Abstract

Left ventricular hypertrophy is a common complication of primary hyperparathyroidism. Numerous disturbances of myocardial physiology have been described as a result of excess parathyroid hormone action. In this brief communication, another phenotype of the hyperparathyroid heart is proposed, the 'pseudo-myocardial infarction hyperparathyroid heart'.
