“…It has also been shown that there is a sex difference in the relationship of urinary magnesium excretion to glycaemic control in patients with T1DM [38]. Albeit not in the field of diabetes, it has repeatedly been suggested that there is a sex difference in the prospective association of Mg intake and low circulating Mg levels with cardiovascular mortality, with associations predominantly present in or limited to women [39,40,41].…”

“…Intravenous magnesium has been used for treatment and prevention of ventricular tachycardia (8,11), ventricular fibrillation (10,13), and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (7,12). Because QTc prolongation is more often present in women, we suggested that the beneficial effect of magnesium could be more pronounced in female patients (14). Pathophysiologic mechanisms may include antagonism at the L-and T-type calcium channels (15), membrane stabilization (16), reduced frequency of ventricular ectopic beats (17,18), and conversion to sinus rhythm (7,8,10,19,20).…”
