Magnesium and Vascular Changes in Hypertension
Many factors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension, including changes in intracellular concentrations of calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium. There is a significant inverse correlation between serum magnesium and incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Magnesium is a mineral with important functions in the body such as antiarrhythmic effect, actions in vascular tone, cont...
متن کاملSerum magnesium and plasma sodium levels in essential vascular hypertension.
The mean serum magnesium concentration in 26 uncomplicated hypertensive patients was found to be significantly lower than that in 43 normal individuals. The mean plasma sodium concentration in these patients was significantly higher than that in a normal group. The mean plasma potassium levels were not significantly different. It is suggested that a possible explanation for these electrolyte ch...
متن کاملVascular biology of magnesium and its transporters in hypertension.
Magnesium may influence blood pressure by modulating vascular tone and structure through its effects on myriad biochemical reactions that control vascular contraction/dilation, growth/apoptosis, differentiation and inflammation. Magnesium acts as a calcium channel antagonist, it stimulates production of vasodilator prostacyclins and nitric oxide and it alters vascular responses to vasoconstrict...
متن کاملEarly Intrarenal Vascular Dysfunction in Essential Hypertension?
The relation between basal intrarenal hemodynamics and the renal response to acute inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme by captopril and albuminuria was assessed in 106 lean patients with essential hypertension without detectable proteinuria. It was observed that the microalbuminuric group (24.5% of the total population) was characterized by a higher systemic arterial pressure, a lower l...
متن کاملPersistent macrovascular and microvascular dysfunction in patients with malignant hypertension.
Endothelial dysfunction is characteristic of patients with essential hypertension, but only limited data are available on different aspects of endothelial function in patients with malignant-phase hypertension. We investigated myocardial perfusion using real-time quantitative myocardial contrast echocardiography with concurrent assessment of macrovascular and microvascular endothelial damage/dy...
