It also can affect the heart and brain. Most often, hypercalcemia happens after one or more of the parathyroid glands make too much hormone.

1 Οκτ 2024 · Hypercalcaemia, or calcium in systemic excess, is harmful to the function of excitable membranes leading to skeletal muscle and gastrointestinal smooth muscle fatigue. Effects on cardiac muscle include a shortened QT interval and increased risk of cardiac arrest at very high calcium levels.
