  • Title: Magnesium in congestive heart failure, acute myocardial infarction and dysrhythmias.
    Author: Hix CD.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Nurs; 1993 Oct; 8(1):19-31. PubMed ID: 8106895.
    Abstract:
    Magnesium plays an important role in the functioning of the cardiovascular system. A decrease in magnesium has been linked with tachydysrhythmias, increased mortality in patients with congestive heart failure, and increased mortality after an acute myocardial infarction. The research shows that the use of magnesium supplements in these situations may be beneficial for treating and preventing life-threatening conditions. Magnesium supplements can be administered safely either orally or parenterally depending on the situation.
