Magnesium plays a crucial role in heart health, aiding over 300 enzymatic reactions. Research indicates magnesium supplementation may reduce cardiac events and benefit patients with acute myocardial infarction and heart rhythm disturbances.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Cardiology
  • Human Physiology

Context:

  • Magnesium is an essential oligo-element impacting myocardial function and the peripheral vascular system.
  • It is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions and found in food and water.
  • The Ca++/Mg++ ratio in drinking water correlates with cardiac event frequency.

Purpose:

  • To review the significance of magnesium in cardiovascular health.
  • To explore magnesium's role in preventing and treating cardiac conditions.
  • To discuss current research and unanswered questions regarding magnesium therapy in cardiology.

Summary:

  • Low magnesium levels are observed in patients with acute myocardial infarction, coronary disease, and heart failure.
  • Magnesium deficiency is linked to various heart rhythm disturbances, such as Torsade de pointes.
