Vitamins & Nutritional Supplements for Arrhythmia
A double-blind trial investigated the effect of oral magnesium supplementation on arrhythmic episodes in people with congestive heart failure. Those people taking 3.2 grams per day of magnesium chloride (equivalent to 384 mg per day of elemental magnesium) had between 23% and 52% fewer occurrences of specific types of arrhythmia during the six-week study, compared with those taking placebo. Lower serum concentrations of magnesium were found to be associated with a higher incidence of arrhythmia in a large population study. The anti-arrhythmic properties of magnesium appear to be specific. For example, magnesium is clearly able to prevent a drug-induced arrhythmia called torsade de pointes, but it does not appear to prevent atrial fibrillation. A doctor should supervise any use of magnesium for cardiac arrhythmia...
