Abstract
The effects of hypercalcemia on the heart and the resulting alternations of the electrocardiogramhave been well established. However, there are only limited number of reports in the literature onprimary hyperparathyroidism leading to clinically significant arrhythmias. We present a patientwho was diagnosed with symptomatic sick sinus syndrome in the setting of moderate hypercalc emia secondary to primary hyperparathyroidism in this case report. After the surgical operation forprimary hyperparathyroidism, serum calcium level returned to normal range and patient’s co mplaints and arrhytmic findings recovered. The patient was asymptomatic for the following 13years.
