BACKGROUND Magnesium is a cation that is constantly being rediscovered. A number of studies have linked low magnesium levels to poor outcome of critically ill patients. Despite this hypomagnesemia continues to be under-recognized and uncorrected. There are no studies, in our knowledge, that have assessed the impact of correction of hypomagnesaemia on the outcome of the ICU patient. AIMS AND O...

Hypomagnesemia is common in hospitalized patients, especially in elderly patients with coronary artery Abstract disease (CAD) and/or those with chronic heart failure. Hypomagnesemia is associated with increased all cause mortality and mortality from CAD. Magnesium supplementation improves myocardial metabolism, inhibits calcium accumulation and myocardial cell death; it improves vascular tone, ...
