A lot of 'racing heartrate' drugs are Calcium Blockers, designed to block calcium. So i guessing calcium must cause a racing heart or palpitations in some people. I myself am on them. If having to take calcium, see if you can also take a combo of potassium and magnesium phosphate. Apparently the heart is a potassium muscle.
It will lower the heart rate.
The time it takes to get rid of calcium build-up in the heart varies depending on the severity of the build-up and the treatment approach. It could take several months to years with lifestyle changes, medication, or surgical procedures, such as angioplasty or stent placement. It's essential to work closely with a healthcare provider to create a personalized treatment plan.
Although plants need both Calcium (especially for the cellwalls) and Chloride (for their metabolism) to keep themselves alive. Adding CaCl2 directly to the soil is more likely to cause damage than good. Calcium: A lack of calcium can cause new leaves to be distorted or hook shaped and the tip may die. It contributes to blossom end rot in tomatoes, tip burn of cabbage and brown/black heart of escarloe and celery. Lack of calcium is rarely a problem and too much of it will inhibit other nutrients.

Crop quality can be affected by the use of chloride-containing fertilizers. (source: http://www.clemson.edu/agsrvlb/Micronutrients.doc)
There are four electrolytes that are important to heart function, potassium, calcium, sodium and magnesium. Calcium is important in the actual contraction of the heart.
The arrest of the heart as a result of calcium poisoning is calcium rigor.
The right way
Calcium is the biggest one. Sodium is another. Calcium is important because it plays a key role in the heart's contraction and ventricular depolarization processes. Without enough calcium, the heart will not contract properly.
Digitalis heart medicines: Taking these medicines with calcium channel blockers may increase the action of the heart medication.
NO. Calcium is actually one of the more essential nutrients that are needed in the human's body. It is fatty acids and obesity that gives you heart problems, not calcium.
Surgery on a beating-heart is not possible.Potassium chloride has the role of stopping the heart-beat during a surgical intervention.
Actually, calcium is a vital macronutrient that must be consumed on a fairly regular basis to maintain life. While most people know that calcium helps build strong bones (it is one of the two major elements in the rigid bone matrix), calcium is also vital for proper heart muscle function. The correct level of calcium in the blood maintains the correct reactivity for the heart to contract, which does so when a flood of calcium is released inside the heart muscle cells. Without calcium, the heart would not be able to contract and a person would die.
