This paper reports the case of a 53‐year‐old woman with hypocalcemia‐induced reversible cardiomyopathy. Laboratory tests showed hypocalcemia caused by idiopathic hypoparathyroidism. Her left ventricular dysfunction persisted for a long period even after normalization of the serum calcium level. Observations suggest that physicians should be aware that hypocalcemia can be a reversible cause of cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure.
