Magnesium and Cardiac Arrythmias: An Overlooked Guardian of Electrical Stability

Puntos clave

To emphasize the importance of magnesium in cardiac function and its impact on arrhythmias.
Review of existing literature on magnesium's effects on cardiac health
Analysis of hypomagnesemia and its common causes
Discussion on the mechanisms by which magnesium influences cardiac arrhythmias
Identified how low magnesium levels can disrupt ion flow, leading to arrhythmias.
Highlighted magnesium's role in treating ventricular arrhythmias and myocardial infarction recovery.

Resumen

Magnesium is one of the inconspicuous cations involved in multiple systems of the human body. Yet, laboratory evaluation of this ion is not routinely conducted. It plays a crucial role in the cardiac system, and abnormal levels can lead to arrhythmias by disrupting the flow of other ions involved in the cardiac membranes. This review aimed to highlight the common etiologies of hypomagnesemia and the fundamental roles of magnesium in the body with particular attention to the mechanism of action of magnesium related to suppression and termination of cardiac arrhythmias, as well as its crucial roles in the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias and reperfusion injuries after myocardial infarction.
