Magnesium provides broad cardiovascular benefits through vasodilatory, antiarrhythmic, anti-ischemic, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Magnesium, the fourth most abundant cation in the human body, is involved in several essential physiological, biochemical, and cellular processes regulating cardiovascular function. It plays a critical role in modulating vascular smooth muscle tone, endothelial cell function, and myocardial excitability and is thus central to the pathogenesis of several cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, and cardiac arrhythmias. This review discusses the vasodilatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-ischemic, and antiarrhythmic properties of magnesium and its current role in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disorders.

Kolte et al. (2014) conducted a review in Cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias). Magnesium was evaluated. Magnesium exhibits vasodilatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-ischemic, and antiarrhythmic properties central to preventing and treating cardiovascular disorders.
