A Rare Case of Type 1B Pseudohypoparathyroidism Complicated by Hypocalcemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Case Discussion and Review ofThe Literature

Figure 1: Postero-anterior Chest X-ray showing cardiomegaly with evidence of heart failure.

Figure 2: Apical 4 chamber transthoracic echocardiographic view showing gross dilatation of all cardiac chambers.

Figure 3: 4-chambers view with an LVEF measurement using the Simpson's method. The obtained LVEF in that view was 13.24%.

Figure 4: A parasternal long axis echocardiographic view using M-mode and showing a grossly dilated left atrium (LA) of 41 mm.

Figure 5: A parasternal long axis echocardiographic view using M-mode and showing a grossly dilated left ventricle with an end diastolic dimension of 61 mm and an end systolic dimension of 58 mm. The fractional shortening was 4.6%.
