Urinary and plasma magnesium and risk of ischemic heart disease

Abstract: Background: Previous studies on dietary magnesium and risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) have yielded inconsistent results, in part because of a lack of direct measures of actual magnesium uptake. Urinary excretion of magnesium, an indicator of dietary magnesium uptake, might provide more consistent results. Objective: The objective was to investigate whether urinary magnesium excretion and plasma magnesium are associated with IHD risk. Design: We examined 7664 adult participants free of known cardiovascular… Show more

“…Low urinary magnesium excretion has been previously associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease [46]. In addition, urinary magnesium excretion can estimate the amount of absorbed magnesium, considering that renal elimination is highly relevant for an adequate magnesium homeostasis.…”

“…Magnesium depletion is associated with cardiovascular disease, probably through several mechanisms, includ ing abnormal cardiac conduction, and might increase the risk of sudden cardiac death. 6,7 An association between magnesium depletion and type 2 diabetes mellitus has also been reported. 8 On the other hand, magnesium sulphate has an established place in the treatment and prevention of eclampsia.…”

“…Details of this study have been described elsewhere. 20 In brief, from 1997 to 1998, all inhabitants of Groningen, the Netherlands aged 28 to 75 years, were sent a questionnaire and a vial to collect a first morning void urine sample. Pregnant women and subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus were excluded.…”
