Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A patient who developed magnesium fluoro-silicate poisoning is described. This condition was manifest by the findings of acute chest pain, dysphagia, diarrhea, metabolic acidosis, hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia and was complicated by acute myocardial injury-a phenomenon not previously described. Coronary cineangiography showed normal coronary arteries. The physiopathologic mechanisms of this electrocardiographic finding are discussed.
