Study investigates the role of magnesium intake in systemic inflammation and blood vessel cell dysfunction (endothelial dysfunction) in humans.

Researchers at the University Medical Center in Tucson have confirmed that magnesium deficiency is closely associated with cardiovascular disease.

Fatal heart attacks are more common in areas where the water supply is magnesium deficient. Dr. Eisenberg at the University of California now suggests that there is a definite link between magnesium deficiency and sudden fatal heart attacks.

Patients having undergone coronary bypass surgery often suffer from ventricular dysrhythmias and decreased stroke volume immediately after the operation. Medical doctors at the Sinai Hospital of Baltimore have now found that supplementation with magnesium markedly decreases the frequency of these serious complications.

Reports of the beneficial effects of the use of magnesium in the treatment of heart attack patients date back to the 1960s. Now a large study carried out at the Leicester Royal Infirmary in England confirms the beneficial effects.

Researchers at the University of North Carolina have found that magnesium injections lower the frequency and severity of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with heart failure.

Medical doctors at the Leicester Royal Infirmary report that the previously found reduction in mortality among heart attack patients injected with magnesium sulfate is long term in nature.

Swedish researchers report that men who live in areas where the drinking water has a high content of magnesium are much less likely to suffer a heart attack than are men who live in areas with a low content. Their study involved ...

Researchers at the Grochowski Hospital in Warsaw now report that Mitral valve prolapse syndrome (MVP) is related to a magnesium deficiency and can be successfully treated with oral administration of magnesium supplements. Their study involved ...

Now researchers at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center report that daily oral magnesium supplementation may help prevent the formation of blood clots in patients suffering from coronary artery disease (CAD). Their experiment ...

Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have just released the results of a study which shows a clear association between low blood serum levels of magnesium and the risk of dying from heart disease and other causes. The study involved ...

Administration of magnesium has been shown to reduce the incidence of heart surgery related arrhythmias in adults. It has also been observed that the magnesium level in the right atrial tissue is lower in adult patients with postoperative cardiac arrhythmias compared to ...

Researchers at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center now report that oral magnesium supplementation can substantially reduce endothelial dysfunction (a dysfunction of the endothelium can lead to atherosclerosis and subsequent coronary artery disease) and improve ...

Effective rate control (reduction in heart rate to below 100 bpm) and/or conversion to normal sinus rhythm was achieved in 84% of patients given magnesium as compared to 53% given a placebo.

Researchers conclude that magnesium infusions are safe and effective in achieving both rate and rhythm control in patients presenting with rapid atrial fibrillation.
