  • Title: Does magnesium therapy early in acute MI reduce mortality?
    Author: Phillips J, Krist A.
    Journal: J Fam Pract; 2003 Mar; 52(3):195, 199. PubMed ID: 12620172.
    Abstract:
    Short-term mortality is not reduced with early administration of intravenous magnesium in high-risk patients having an acute myocardial infarction (MI). There is no reason to give intravenous magnesium unless patients have other indications for repletion, such as a low magnesium level or arrhythmia responsive to magnesium therapy.
