Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Intracellular magnesium is an important modulator of calcium and potassium channels in cardiac myocytes. Hypomagnesemia is common in hospitalized patients and may contribute significantly to cardiac morbidity and mortality, particularly in states associated with myocardial ischemia. Therefore, it is important to maintain the plasma magnesium concentration within the normal range in asymptomatic patients and in patients with cardiac disease as prophylaxis against the occurrence of significant arrhythmias. |
