Magnesium Deficiency and Heart Disease Go Together

By Hans R. Larsen MSc ChE TUCSON, ARIZONA. Researchers at the University Medical Center in Tucson have confirmed that magnesium deficiency is closely associated with cardiovascular disease. Lowered serum magnesium concentrations have been found in heart attack patients and administration of magnesium has proven beneficial in treating ventricular arrhythmias, particularly those caused by digoxin toxicity.

Magnesium: Healthy Blood Vessels = A Healthy Heart

The endothelium is the thin layer of cells that lines the interior surface of blood vessels. These cells are called endothelial cells and line the entire circulatory system, from the heart to the smallest capillary. Endothelial cells are involved in many facets of vascular function including blood clotting, inflammation, formation of new blood vessels and [...]

Magnesium Deficiency Linked to Diabetes

By Hans R. Larsen MSc ChE – http://www.afibbers.org/magnesium.html BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. A link between low body levels of magnesium and type 2 diabetes has long been suspected, but there has been no agreement as to whether low magnesium levels cause diabetes or the presence of diabetes results in low magnesium levels. A team of researchers from [...]

Magnesium Deficiency and Diabetes

By Hans R. Larsen MSc ChE – http://www.afibbers.org/magnesium.html NEW YORK, NY. Researchers at Columbia University report that as many as one in three diabetics may lack magnesium. Magnesium deficiencies have also been implicated in cardiac arrhythmias, vasospasms, and seizures. It is believed that a lack of magnesium leads to increased insulin resistance, ie. a faulty [...]
