Zaveri S, Chahine M, Boutjdir M. Arrhythmias and ion channelopathies causing sudden cardiac death in Hispanic/Latino and Indigenous populations. J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol 2024; 35:1219-1228. [PMID: 38654386 PMCID: PMC11176016 DOI: 10.1111/jce.16282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
The limited literature and increasing interest in studies on cardiac electrophysiology, explicitly focusing on cardiac ion channelopathies and sudden cardiac death in diverse populations, has prompted a comprehensive examination of existing research. Our review specifically targets Hispanic/Latino and Indigenous populations, which are often underrepresented in healthcare studies. This review encompasses investigations into genetic variants, epidemiology, etiologies, and clinical risk factors associated with arrhythmias in these demographic groups. The review explores the Hispanic paradox, a phenomenon linking healthcare outcomes to socioeconomic factors within Hispanic communities in the United States. Furthermore, it discusses studies exemplifying this observation in the context of arrhythmias and ion channelopathies in Hispanic populations. Current research also sheds light on disparities in overall healthcare quality in Indigenous populations. The available yet limited literature underscores the pressing need for more extensive and comprehensive research on cardiac ion channelopathies in Hispanic/Latino and Indigenous populations. Specifically, additional studies are essential to fully characterize pathogenic genetic variants, identify population-specific risk factors, and address health disparities to enhance the detection, prevention, and management of arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in these demographic groups.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death globally. Only 25.8% of in-hospital and 33.5% of out-of-hospital individuals who achieve spontaneous circulation following cardiac arrest survive to leave the hospital. Respiratory failure and acute coronary syndrome are the two most common etiologies of cardiac arrest. Effort has been made to improve the outcomes of individuals resuscitated from cardiac arrest. Magnesium is an ion that is critical to the function of all cells and organs. It is often overlooked in everyday clinical practice. At present, there have only been a small number of reviews discussing the role of magnesium in cardiac arrest. In this review, for the first time, we provide a comprehensive overview of magnesium research in cardiac arrest focusing on the effects of magnesium on the occurrence and prognosis of cardiac arrest, as well as in the two main diseases causing cardiac arrest, respiratory failure and acute coronary syndrome. The current findings support the view that magnesium disorder is associated with increased risk of cardiac arrest as well as respiratory failure and acute coronary syndrome.

The Impact of Chronic Magnesium Deficiency on Excitable Tissues-Translational Aspects. Biol Trace Elem Res 2024:10.1007/s12011-024-04216-2. [PMID: 38709369 DOI: 10.1007/s12011-024-04216-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
Neuromuscular excitability is a vital body function, and Mg2+ is an essential regulatory cation for the function of excitable membranes. Loss of Mg2+ homeostasis disturbs fluxes of other cations across cell membranes, leading to pathophysiological electrogenesis, which can eventually cause vital threat to the patient. Chronic subclinical Mg2+ deficiency is an increasingly prevalent condition in the general population. It is associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological conditions and an increased mortality. Magnesium favours bronchodilation (by antagonizing Ca2+ channels on airway smooth muscle and inhibiting the release of endogenous bronchoconstrictors). Magnesium exerts antihypertensive effects by reducing peripheral vascular resistance (increasing endothelial NO and PgI2 release and inhibiting Ca2+ influx into vascular smooth muscle). Magnesium deficiency disturbs heart impulse generation and propagation by prolonging cell depolarization (due to Na+/K+ pump and Kir channel dysfunction) and dysregulating cardiac gap junctions, causing arrhythmias, while prolonged diastolic Ca2+ release (through leaky RyRs) disturbs cardiac excitation-contraction coupling, compromising diastolic relaxation and systolic contraction. In the brain, Mg2+ regulates the function of ion channels and neurotransmitters (blocks voltage-gated Ca2+ channel-mediated transmitter release, antagonizes NMDARs, activates GABAARs, suppresses nAChR ion current and modulates gap junction channels) and blocks ACh release at neuromuscular junctions. Magnesium exerts multiple therapeutic neuroactive effects (antiepileptic, antimigraine, analgesic, neuroprotective, antidepressant, anxiolytic, etc.). This review focuses on the effects of Mg2+ on excitable tissues in health and disease. As a natural membrane stabilizer, Mg2+ opposes the development of many conditions of hyperexcitability. Its beneficial recompensation and supplementation help treat hyperexcitability and should therefore be considered wherever needed.

Abstract
Objective The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of hypomagnesemia and its association with the severity of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in patients presenting at a tertiary care hospital. Methodology A total of 100 patients with AIS were included in the study. Demographic data, including age, gender, and severity of stroke, were collected. Serum magnesium levels were measured at admission, and the severity of stroke was classified as mild, moderate, or severe based on clinical criteria. The presence of hypomagnesemia was defined as a serum magnesium level below 1.8 mg/dL determined within 72 hours of onset of stroke. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the association between hypomagnesemia, stroke severity, age, and gender. Results The mean age of the patients with standard deviation was 65.45 ± 11.8 years, with the majority (38, 38%) aged 60-74 years. There were 53 (53%) male and 47 (47%) female patients. Hypomagnesemia was found in 35 (35%) patients, with an average magnesium level of 1.93 mg/dL and a standard deviation of 0.37 at admission. There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of stroke severity (P = 0.779; P = 0.406) or hypomagnesemia (P = 0.287; P = 0.591) based on gender or age group, respectively. Stratification based on stroke severity showed that 16 (39%) patients with mild stroke, 10 (31.3%) with moderate stroke, and 9 (33.3%) with severe stroke had hypomagnesemia. The correlation between stroke severity and hypomagnesemia was weak (r = 0.099). Further, among hypomagnesemia patients, the majority were females aged 60-74 years. Conclusions This study found a weak positive relationship between the severity of AIS and the presence of hypomagnesemia. However, no statistically significant association was observed between gender or age group and stroke severity or hypomagnesemia. These findings suggest that further research is needed to understand the role of hypomagnesemia in AIS and its potential implications for patient management.

Abstract
The magnesium depletion score (MDS) is considered a new valuable and reliable predictor of body magnesium status. This study aimed to explore the association between MDS and congestive heart failure (CHF) among US adults. A total of 19,227 eligible participants from the 2007-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were enrolled in this study and then divided into three groups according to the level of MDS (none to low: MDS=0-1, middle: MDS=2, high: MDS=3-5). Sample-weighted logistic regression models were applied to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) exploring the independent relationship between MDS and CHF. The estimated prevalence of CHF increased with the increasing level of MDS (none to low: 0.86%, middle: 4.06%, high: 13.52%; P < 0.001). Compared to those in the none-to-low group, participants in the middle and high groups were at significantly higher risk of CHF after adjusting for various covariates (model 3: OR=1.55, 95%CI: 1.05-2.30, P < 0.001; OR=3.20, 95%CI: 2.07-4.96, P < 0.001; respectively). Subgroup analyses indicated that adequate dietary magnesium intake could reduce the risk of CHF in participants who did not meet the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for magnesium. Besides, there was an interaction between coronary artery disease and MDS on CHF (P for interaction < 0.001). These findings indicated that MDS, a novel indicator estimating magnesium deficiency, is associated with the risk of CHF in non-institutionalized US civilians. Participants whose dietary magnesium intake reaches the RDA might be at lower risk.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) plays crucial roles in multiple essential biological processes. As the kidneys are the primary organ responsible for maintaining the blood concentration of Mg, people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) may develop disturbances in Mg. While both hyper- and hypomagnesemia may lead to adverse effects, the consequences associated with hypomagnesemia are often more severe and lasting. Importantly, observational studies have shown that CKD patients with hypomagnesemia have greater vascular calcification. Vascular calcification is accelerated and contributes to a high mortality rate in the CKD population. Both in vitro and animal studies have demonstrated that Mg protects against vascular calcification via several potential mechanisms, such as inhibiting the formation of both hydroxyapatite and pathogenic calciprotein particles as well as limiting osteogenic differentiation, a process in which vascular smooth muscle cells in the media layer of the arteries transform into bone-like cells. These preclinical findings have led to several important clinical trials that have investigated the effects of Mg supplementation on vascular calcification in people with CKD. Interestingly, two major clinical studies produced contradictory findings, resulting in a state of equipoise. This narrative review provides an overview of our current knowledge in the renal handling of Mg in health and CKD and the underlying mechanisms by which Mg may protect against vascular calcification. Lastly, we evaluate the strength of evidence from clinical studies on the efficacy of Mg supplementation and discuss future research directions.

Abstract
This article aims to study the correlation between dietary magnesium intake and pulmonary function, utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. This cross-sectional study examined representative samples of adults from the USA (n = 818; NHANES 2007-2012) to explore the correlation between magnesium intake and pulmonary function. We obtained the average magnesium intake over 2 days, as well as measured pulmonary function parameters, including forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC, peak expiratory flow rate (PEF), and forced expiratory flow between 25 and 75% of FVC (FEF25-75%). Weighted multivariable linear regression was used to investigate the relationship between magnesium intake and pulmonary function. Additionally, subgroup analyses, interaction tests, and sensitivity analyses were conducted. Weighted multiple linear regression models revealed a significant positive correlation between magnesium and pulmonary function, even after adjusting for all included confounding variables. When we categorized magnesium intake into tertiles, we found that participants in the highest tertile of magnesium intake had significantly higher values for FVC (β: 898.54, 95%CI: 211.82-1585.25), FEV1 (β: 858.16, 95%CI: 212.41-1503.91), FEV1/FVC (β: 0.024, 95%CI: 0.004-0.044), PEF (β: 1324.52, 95%CI: 481.71-2167.33), and FEF25-75% (β: 831.39, 95%CI: 84.93-1577.84). Upon stratifying the data by age and sex, it was observed that this positive correlation was particularly pronounced among men aged 40-79. At the same time, the stability of the results was further confirmed by sensitivity analyses. This study suggested that dietary magnesium intake may improve pulmonary function.

Abstract
Maintenance hemodialysis patients suffer from multiple comorbidities and treatment-related complications. A personalized approach to hemodialysis prescription could reduce some of these burdens by preventing complications such as excessive changes in blood pressure, arrhythmias, post-dialysis fatigue and decreased quality of life. A patient-centered approach to dialysate electrolyte concentrations represents one such opportunity. In addition to modifications in dialysate electrolyte concentrations, consideration of individual factors such as patients' serum concentrations, medication profiles, nutritional status and comorbidities is critical to tailoring hemodialysis prescriptions to optimize patient outcomes. The development of personalized dialysis treatment depends on the collection of comprehensive patient data, advances in technology, resource allocation and patient involvement in decision-making. This review discusses how the treatment of maintenance hemodialysis patients could benefit from individualized changes in certain dialysis fluid components.

Abstract
Background Heart failure (HF) is a global health challenge. The perturbations in fluid and electrolyte equilibrium, particularly the compromised sodium balance associated with HF lead to high mortality rates. Hence, elucidating the correlation between serum sodium levels and the prognosis of HF is of paramount importance. This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive meta-analysis to thoroughly investigate the interplay between hyponatremia and the prognostic outlook of individuals with HF. Methods A comprehensive search of bibliographic databases including PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials was conducted to identify relevant observational studies examining the association between hyponatremia and prognosis of HF. Data extraction, synthesis, and assessment of risk of bias were conducted. Meta-analytic methods, sensitivity analyses, and heterogeneity test were employed as appropriate to synthesize the data. Results A total of 43,316 patients with HF were included spanning 25 selected studies. The pooled data revealed a notable association between hyponatremia and elevated risks across short and long-term mortality of HF. Specifically, hyponatremia was found to significantly increase the likelihood of all-cause mortality (Hazard ratio [HR] = 1.94, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.78-2.12); 1-year mortality (HR = 1.67, 95%CI: 1.46-1.90); 30-day mortality (HR = 2.03, 95%CI: 1.73-2.25); cardiac mortality (HR = 2.11, 95%CI: 1.81-2.46); and in-hospital mortality (HR = 1.64, 95%CI: 1.15-2.34). Conclusion Our meta-analysis emphasizes the significant impact of hyponatremia on mortality in the HF patient population, highlighting the critical importance of maintaining stable serum sodium levels in HF management.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly sustained arrhythmia after pulmonary resection, which has been shown to predict higher hospital morbidity and mortality. The lack of strong evidence-based medical evidence makes doctors have very few options for medications to prevent new-onset AF following thoracic surgery. Magnesium can prevent perioperative AF in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However, this has not yet been fully studied in patients undergoing non-cardiac thoracic surgery, which is the aim of this study. This is a single-center, prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial. In total, 838 eligible patients were randomly assigned to one of two study groups, namely, the control group or the magnesium group. The patients in the magnesium group preoperatively received 80 mg magnesium sulfate/kg ideal weight in 100 ml normal saline 30 min. The control group received the same volumes of normal saline simultaneously. The primary outcome is the incidence of new-onset AF intra-operative and on the first, second, and third postoperative days. The secondary outcomes are bradycardia, hypertension, hypotension, and flushing. The occurrence of stroke or any other type of arrhythmia is also recorded. Postoperative respiratory suppression and gastrointestinal discomfort, intensive care unit stays and total duration of hospital stays, in-hospital mortality, and 3-month all-cause mortality are also recorded as important outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of oral magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) on the gene expression and serum levels of inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α, IL-18, IL-1β, IL-6, and IFN-γ in patients with moderate coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS 60 CAD patients were selected based on angiography findings and were randomly divided into two groups that received 300 mg/day MgSO4 (n = 30) or placebo (n = 30) for 3 months. Gene expression and serum levels of inflammatory cytokines were assessed. RESULTS After 3 months of intervention, gene expression and serum levels of IL-18 and TNF-α in the MgSO4 group were significantly less than the placebo group (P < 0.05). However, no significant difference in gene expression and serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and IFN-γ was observed between the two groups (P > 0.05). In addition, within group analysis demonstrate that Mg-treatment significantly decrease serum level of TNF-α and IL-18 as compared to pretreatment. CONCLUSION The results of our study demonstrate that 3-month magnesium sulfate administration (300 mg/day) to CAD patients could significantly decrease serum concentration and gene expression levels of IL-18 and TNF-α. Our findings support the potential beneficial effect of magnesium supplementation on alleviating CAD complications through modulating inflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
Background Dietary magnesium and serum magnesium play an important part in cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the association between magnesium depletion score (MDS) and CVD development and prognosis remains unclear. This analysis examines the cross-sectional relationship between MDS and CVD, and the longitudinal association between MDS and all-cause and CVD mortality in individuals with CVD. Methods and Results In all, 42 711 individuals were selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, including 5015 subjects with CVD. The association between MDS and total and individual CVDs was examined using the survey-weighted multiple logistic regression analysis. Among 5011 patients with CVD, 2285 and 927 participants were recorded with all-cause and CVD deaths, respectively. We applied survey-weighted Cox proportional hazards regression analyses to investigate the impact of MDS on the mortality of individuals with CVD. The CVD group had higher MDS levels than the non-CVD groups. After controlling all confounding factors, individuals with MDS of 2 and ≥3 had higher odds of total CVD and specific CVD than those with MDS of 0. Besides, each 1-unit increase in MDS was strongly related to the risk of total CVD and specific CVD. The relationship between MDS and total CVD was stable and significant in all subgroups. The fully adjusted Cox regression model indicated that high MDS, irrespective of MDS as a categorical or continuous variable, was significantly associated with an elevated risk of all-cause and CVD deaths. Conclusions MDS is a vital risk factor for the prevalence and mortality of individuals with CVD.

Abstract
As the second most abundant intracellular divalent cation, magnesium (Mg2+) is essential for cell functions, such as ATP production, protein/DNA synthesis, protein activity, and mitochondrial function. Mg2+ plays a critical role in heart rhythm, muscle contraction, and blood pressure. A significant decline in Mg2+ intake has been reported in developed countries because of the increased consumption of processed food and filtered/deionized water, which can lead to hypomagnesemia (HypoMg). HypoMg is commonly observed in cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure, hypertension, arrhythmias, and diabetic cardiomyopathy, and HypoMg is a predictor for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. On the other hand, Mg2+ supplementation has shown significant therapeutic effects in cardiovascular diseases. Some of the effects of HypoMg have been ascribed to changes in Mg2+ participation in enzyme activity, ATP stabilization, enzyme kinetics, and alterations in Ca2+, Na+, and other cations. In this manuscript, we discuss new insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of HypoMg that surpass previously described effects. HypoMg causes mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Many of these effects can be attributed to the HypoMg-induced upregulation of a Mg2+ transporter transient receptor potential melastatin 7 channel (TRMP7) that is also a kinase. An increase in kinase signaling mediated by HypoMg-induced TRPM7 transcriptional upregulation, independently of any change in Mg2+ transport function, likely seems responsible for many of the effects of HypoMg. Therefore, Mg2+ supplementation and TRPM7 kinase inhibition may work to treat the sequelae of HypoMg by preventing increased TRPM7 kinase activity rather than just altering ion homeostasis. Since many diseases are characterized by oxidative stress or inflammation, Mg2+ supplementation and TRPM7 kinase inhibition may have wider implications for other diseases by acting to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.

Abstract
In the recent years, micronutrients play an important role in improving body health with preventing and treating of chronic diseases. Chromium is one of the vital minerals involved in the regulation of insulin action. According to abundant evidences this mineral seems to be an essential factor involved in the reduction of insulin resistance and decreasing the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Moreover, it has been proposed that Chromium supplementation affects mechanisms involved in blood pressure, lipid metabolism, inflammation, and oxidative stress. For instance, it may affect blood pressure through alteration of the renin-angiotensin system, as well as reducing the angiotensin-converting enzyme activity. Furthermore, Chromium supplementation might help reduce the coronary heart disease rates. This study aims to provide a comprehensive review regarding to the effects of Chromium supplementation on CVDs risk factors with an emphasis on possible molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interest in water chemical activity, its content, and its impact on human health has greatly increased throughout the last decade. Some studies suggest that drinking water with high hardness may have preventative effects on cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to investigate the association between drinking water hardness and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. METHODS The study selection process was designed to find the association between drinking water hardness and CVDs mortality. The search included both qualitative and quantitative research and was performed in three databases: Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics, Ann Arbor, MI, USA), PubMed (National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MA, USA), and Scopus (Elsevier, RELX Group plc, London, UK). The project was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO), registration number: CRD42020213102. RESULTS Seventeen studies out of a total of twenty-five studies qualitatively analyzed indicated a significant relation between total water hardness and protection from CVD mortality. The quantitative analysis concluded that high drinking water hardness has a significantly lowering effect on mortality from CVDs, however, the heterogeneity was high. CONCLUSIONS This systematic literature review shows that total water hardness could affect CVD prevention and mortality. Due to the many confounding factors in the studies, more research is needed.

Abstract
The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a comprehensive index that is widely used to assess renal function. Although studies have confirmed a correlation between eGFR and dietary vitamin C, the impact of varying levels of vitamin C on eGFR remains unclear. Additionally, the interaction between dietary magnesium intake and vitamin C concentration on eGFR is not well understood. As such, the objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between dietary magnesium intake and vitamin C in relation to eGFR. This study analyzed the data of consecutive NHANES from 2005 to 2018. We included 17,633 participants aged 20 or older and used multiple linear regression analysis to evaluate the relationship between dietary vitamin C and eGFR. Dietary Mg intake from experimental data was dichotomized into a low dietary Mg intake group (≤254 mg/day) and a normal dietary Mg intake group (>254 mg/day). To evaluate the impact of dietary magnesium intake on eGFR, a multivariable linear regression was conducted utilizing an interaction test between dietary vitamin C and eGFR. We discovered a positive association between dietary vitamin C content and eGFR. The relationship between dietary vitamin C levels and eGFR differed between individuals with low Mg intake and those with normal Mg intake (β: 2.96 95% CI:1.63 ~ 4.29 vs. β: 1.05 95% CI: -0.15 to 2.25), and the positive association of high dietary vitamin C content with eGFR was stronger in the low Mg intake group. Furthermore, we observed that dietary magnesium intake significantly altered the positive association between dietary vitamin C and eGFR (interaction value of 0.020). Our experimental study revealed that the interaction between dietary magnesium and dietary vitamin C can significantly impact eGFR. This finding carries significant implications for the treatment of diseases resulting from abnormal eGFR, as well as the selection of clinically relevant drugs.

Abstract
Inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels play a key role in maintaining the resting membrane potential and supporting potassium homeostasis. There are many variants of Kir channels, which are usually tetramers in which the main subunit has two trans-membrane helices attached to two N- and C-terminal cytoplasmic tails with a pore-forming loop in between that contains the selectivity filter. These channels have domains that are strongly modulated by molecules present in nutrients found in different diets, such as phosphoinositols, polyamines and Mg2+. These molecules can impact these channels directly or indirectly, either allosterically by modulation of enzymes or via the regulation of channel expression. A particular type of these channels is coupled to cell metabolism and inhibited by ATP (KATP channels, essential for insulin release and for the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases like diabetes mellitus). Genomic changes in Kir channels have a significant impact on metabolism, such as conditioning the nutrients and electrolytes that an individual can take. Thus, the nutrigenomics of ion channels is an important emerging field in which we are attempting to understand how nutrients and diets can affect the activity and expression of ion channels and how genomic changes in such channels may be the basis for pathological conditions that limit nutrition and electrolyte intake. In this contribution we briefly review Kir channels, discuss their nutrigenomics, characterize how different components in the diet affect their function and expression, and suggest how their genomic changes lead to pathological phenotypes that affect diet and electrolyte intake.

Abstract
Magnesium is essential for material and energy metabolism. The magnesium depletion score (MDS) is recognized as a more valuable and reliable predictor of body magnesium status than any other clinical used markers such as serum and urine magnesium. However, research on the relationship between MDS and diabetic retinopathy (DR) is limited. As a result, the current study sought to assess this issue in diabetic samples from a large population-based database in the United States. Data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2018. MDS was calculated, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to evaluate the presence of association between variables and DR risk. A total of 4308 participants was comprised in this study. Samples with DR consumed less magnesium (259.1 ± 113.6 vs 269.8 ± 113.2 mg, P < 0.001), and their MDS levels differed significantly from non-DR participants (P < 0.001). Increased dietary magnesium was linked to a lower incidence of DR (all P for trend < 0.05), and patients with a high level of MDS were more prone to DR (P = 0.001). Furthermore, subgroup analysis revealed that high (Q3) amount magnesium supplements was associated with lower DR risk when MDS was none to low or middle level (both P = 0.02). Our results indicated that MDS levels are associated with DR risk and that magnesium supplementation is benefit to DR prevention.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg2+) has many physiological functions within the body. These include important roles in maintaining cardiovascular functioning, where it contributes to the regulation of cardiac excitation-contraction coupling, endothelial functioning and haemostasis. The haemostatic roles of Mg2+ impact upon both the protein and cellular arms of coagulation. In this review, we examine how Mg2+ homeostasis is maintained within the body and highlight the various molecular roles attributed to Mg2+ in the cardiovascular system. In addition, we describe how nutritional and/or disease-associated magnesium deficiency, seen in some metabolic conditions, has the potential to influence cardiac and vascular outcomes. Finally, we also examine the potential for magnesium supplements to be employed in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disorders and in the management of cardiometabolic health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is one of the main causes of cardiovascular mortality and accounts for 15-20% of deaths worldwide. The current stratification strategy using depressed left ventricular ejection fraction is insufficient to stratify the risk of SCD, especially in the general population. In recent years, there has been increasing evidence showing the antiarrhythmic properties of magnesium. In this systematic review, the authors aim to determine circulating magnesium as a potential risk stratification tool for SCD. METHODS This systematic review was based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and was conducted in July 2021 with sources from Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, EBSCO Medline, and ProQuest. RESULTS A total of six studies were included in this review. Three studies conducted in the general population consistently showed lower risk of SCD in populations with high circulating magnesium. There was no association between circulating magnesium level and risk of SCD in intensive cardiac care unit (ICCU) patients, whilst the results were conflicting in congestive heart failure (CHF) patients. CONCLUSION High circulating magnesium might have the potential to be utilized as a risk stratification tool for SCD, especially in the general population. However, further study is needed to support this evidence.

J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12082968. [PMID: 37109302 PMCID: PMC10142006 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12082968] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2023] [Revised: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hypomagnesemia has been documented in alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). This study aims to characterize hypomagnesemia in alcoholic hepatitis (AH) patients and identify its response with liver injury and severity markers. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 49 male and female AH patients with an age range of 27-66 years were enrolled in this study. Patients were grouped by MELD: MiAH (mild AH < 12 [n = 5]), MoAH (12 ≤ moderate AH ≤ 19 [n = 13]), and SAH (severe AH ≥ 20 [n = 31]). Patients were also evaluated by MELD grouping as non-severe (MELD ≤ 19 [n = 18]) and severe (MELD ≥ 20 [n = 31]). Data were collected on demographics (Age; BMI), drinking history (AUDIT; LTDH), liver injury (ALT; AST), and liver severity (Maddrey's DF; MELD; AST:ALT). Serum magnesium (SMg) levels were tested as SOC lab (normal ≥ 0.85 ≤ 1.10 mmol/L). RESULTS SMg was deficient in each group; the lowest in the MoAH patients. The true positivity of SMg values were at a good performance level when compared between severe and non-severe AH patients (AUROC: 0.695, p = 0.034). We found that the SMg level < 0.78 mmol/L could predict severe AH (sensitivity = 0.100 and 1-specificity = 0.000) at this true positivity, and subsequently analyzed patients with SMg < 0.78 mmol/L (Gr.4) and ≥0.78 mmol/L (Gr.5). Between Gr.4 and Gr.5, there were clinically as well as statistically significant differences in disease severity as defined by MELD, Maddrey's DF, and ABIC scores. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates the utility of SMg levels to identify AH patients who may have progressed to severe status. The extent of magnesium response in AH patients also corresponded significantly with the prognosis of liver disease. Physicians suspecting AH in patients with recent heavy drinking may use SMg as an indicator to guide further testing, referrals, or treatment.

Get to the heart of pediatric kidney transplant recipients: Evaluation of left- and right ventricular mechanics by three-dimensional echocardiography. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1094765. [PMID: 37008334 PMCID: PMC10063872 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1094765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BackgroundKidney transplantation (KTX) markedly improves prognosis in pediatric patients with end-stage kidney failure. Still, these patients have an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease due to multiple risk factors. Three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography allows detailed assessment of the heart and may unveil distinct functional and morphological changes in this patient population that would be undetectable by conventional methods. Accordingly, our aim was to examine left- (LV) and right ventricular (RV) morphology and mechanics in pediatric KTX patients using 3D echocardiography.Materials and methodsPediatric KTX recipients (n = 74) with median age 20 (14–26) years at study enrollment (43% female), were compared to 74 age and gender-matched controls. Detailed patient history was obtained. After conventional echocardiographic protocol, 3D loops were acquired and measured using commercially available software and the ReVISION Method. We measured LV and RV end-diastolic volumes indexed to body surface area (EDVi), ejection fraction (EF), and 3D LV and RV global longitudinal (GLS) and circumferential strains (GCS).ResultsBoth LVEDVi (67 ± 17 vs. 61 ± 9 ml/m2; p < 0.01) and RVEDVi (68 ± 18 vs. 61 ± 11 ml/m2; p < 0.01) were significantly higher in KTX patients. LVEF was comparable between the two groups (60 ± 6 vs. 61 ± 4%; p = NS), however, LVGLS was significantly lower (−20.5 ± 3.0 vs. −22.0 ± 1.7%; p < 0.001), while LVGCS did not differ (−29.7 ± 4.3 vs. −28.6 ± 10.0%; p = NS). RVEF (59 ± 6 vs. 61 ± 4%; p < 0.05) and RVGLS (−22.8 ± 3.7 vs. −24.1 ± 3.3%; p < 0.05) were significantly lower, however, RVGCS was comparable between the two groups (−23.7 ± 4.5 vs. −24.8 ± 4.4%; p = NS). In patients requiring dialysis prior to KTX (n = 64, 86%) RVGCS showed correlation with the length of dialysis (r = 0.32, p < 0.05).ConclusionPediatric KTX patients demonstrate changes in both LV and RV morphology and mechanics. Moreover, the length of dialysis correlated with the contraction pattern of the right ventricle.

Davenport A. Why is Intradialytic Hypotension the Commonest Complication of Outpatient Dialysis Treatments? Kidney Int Rep 2023; 8:405-418. [PMID: 36938081 PMCID: PMC10014354 DOI: 10.1016/j.ekir.2022.10.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 10/30/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is the most frequent complication of hemodialysis (HD) treatments with a frequency of 10% to 12% for patients with chronic kidney disease attending for outpatient treatments and is associated with both temporary ischemic stress to vital organs, including the heart and brain, and increased patient mortality. Although there have been many different definitions of IDH over the years, an absolute nadir systolic blood pressure (SBP) has the strongest association with patient outcomes. The unifying pathophysiology is one of reduced effective blood volume, resulting in lower plasma tonicity, and if this cannot be adequately compensated for by activation of neurohumeral systems, then arteriolar tone and blood pressure fall. The risk factors for developing IDH are numerous, ranging from patient-related factors, including age and comorbidity with reduced cardiac reserve, to patient compliance with dietary and lifestyle advice, to reactions with the extracorporeal circuit and medications, choice of dialysate composition and temperature, setting of postdialysis target weight, ultrafiltration rate, and profiling. Advances in dialysis machine technology by providing real time estimates of the effective circulating volume and adjusting dialysate composition to maintain vascular tonicity are being developed, but currently require more sophisticated biofeedback loops to be clinically effective in preventing IDH. While awaiting advances in artificial intelligence, the clinician continues to rely on patient education to limit interdialytic weight gains, frequent assessment of the postdialysis target weight, adjusting dialysate composition and temperature, introducing convective therapies to increase thermal losses, and altering dialysis session duration and frequency to reduce ultrafiltration rate requirements.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg2+) is the second most common intracellular cation and the fourth most abundant element on earth. However, Mg2+ is a frequently overlooked electrolyte and often not measured in patients. While hypomagnesemia is common in 15% of the general population, hypermagnesemia is typically only found in preeclamptic women after Mg2+ therapy and in patients with ESRD. Mild to moderate hypomagnesemia has been associated with hypertension, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, CKD, and cancer. Nutritional Mg2+ intake and enteral Mg2+ absorption are important for Mg2+ homeostasis, but the kidneys are the key regulators of Mg2+ homeostasis by limiting urinary excretion to less than 4% while the gastrointestinal tract loses over 50% of the Mg2+ intake in the feces. Here, we review the physiological relevance of Mg2+, the current knowledge of Mg2+ absorption in the kidneys and the gut, the different causes of hypomagnesemia, and a diagnostic approach on how to assess Mg2+ status. We highlight the latest discoveries of monogenetic conditions causing hypomagnesemia, which have enhanced our understanding of tubular Mg2+ absorption. We will also discuss external and iatrogenic causes of hypomagnesemia and advances in the treatment of hypomagnesemia.

Hypomagnesemia as a Risk Factor and Accelerator for Vascular Aging in Diabetes Mellitus and Chronic Kidney Disease. Metabolites 2023; 13:metabo13020306.

Abstract
The age-old axiom that one is as old as his or her vessels are, calls for ongoing critical re-examination of modifiable risk factors of accelerated vascular ageing in chronic kidney diseases. Attempts to modulate vascular risk with cholesterol-lowering agents have largely failed in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). In addition to nitrogen waste products, many pathological biochemical processes also play a role in vascular calcification in chronic kidney damage. Magnesium, a cation vital for the body, may substantially reduce cardiovascular diseases' risk and progression. This narrative review aimed to address the relationship between hypomagnesemia and vascular calcification, which promotes further cardiovascular complications in diabetes, aging, and CKD. Articles with predefined keywords were searched for in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. We hypothesized that a decrease in serum magnesium levels contributes to increased vascular calcification and thereby increases cardiovascular mortality. In summary, based on existing evidence in the literature, it appears that simple and inexpensive oral magnesium supplementation may reduce the cardiovascular mortality of patients who are already severely affected by such diseases; in this context, the concept of 'normal' vs. 'ideal' serum magnesium levels should be carefully re-examined.

Abstract
To observe the effect of magnesium ion on vascular function in rats after long-term exhaustive exercise. Forty male SD rats were divided into two groups, the control group (CON group, n = 20) and the exhaustive exercise group (EEE group, n = 20). Exhausted rats performed 1W adaptive swimming exercise (6 times/W, 15min/time), and then followed by 3W formal exhaustive exercise intervention. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was used to detect the morphological changes of rat thoracic aorta. The contents of interleukin-1 β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in serum of rats were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin 1 (ET-1) in serum of rats were determined by biochemical kit. Vascular ring test detects vascular function. Compared with the CON group, the smooth muscle layer of the EEE group became thicker, the cell arrangement was disordered, and the integrity of endothelial cells was destroyed; the serum Mg2+ in EEE group was decreased; the serum levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, MDA and ROS in EEE group were significantly higher than those in the CON group (P are all less than 0.05); the serum NO content in EEE group was significantly decreased, and the ratio of NO/ET-1 was significantly decreased. In the exhaustion group, the vasoconstriction response to KCl was increased, and the relaxation response to Ach was weakened, while 4.8mM Mg2+ could significantly improve this phenomenon (P are all less than 0.01). The damage of vascular morphology and function in rats after exhaustion exercise may be related to the significant increase of serum IL-1β, TNF-α, ROS, MDA and ET-1/NO ratio in rats after exhaustion exercise, while Mg2+ can significantly improve the vasomotor function of rats after exhaustion exercise.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) family play critical roles in cardiovascular system. TRPM family as largest TRP subfamily is non-voltage Ca2+-activated selective channels which has 8 members. This study aimed to discuss the role of TRPM family in cardiovascular system and diseases. Systematic search was performed covering PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and Google Scholar from inception until June 2021 using related keywords and Mesh terms for English studies with human, animal and in-vitro subjects. Finally 10 studies were selected for data extraction. Reviewing the articles showed that TRPM2, TRPM4, TRPM5, TRPM6 and TRPM7 play important roles in cardiovascular system and diseases. TRPM2 could be activated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and effects on cardiac injury and cardiac fibrosis. TRPM7 and TRPM6 also have been reported to be associated with cardiac fibrosis and atrial fibrosis development respectively. TRPM4 channels contributed to resting membrane potential of cerebral artery smooth muscle cells and atrial contraction. TRPM5 channels are bitter taste sensors and prevent high salt intake and consequently high blood pressure due to the high salt intake. In conclusion based on the proof of the effectiveness of some members of TRPM family in the cardiovascular system, research on other members of this channel group seems to be useful and necessary to find their possible connection to the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Magnesium is the fourth most common mineral in the human body and the second richest intracellular cation. This element is necessary for many physiological reactions, especially in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. The majority of people who become ill as a result of COVID-19 have mild-to-moderate symptoms and recover without specific treatment. Moreover, there are people who develop severe forms of COVID-19, which require highly specialized medical assistance. Magnesium deficiency may play a role in the pathophysiology of infection with SARS-CoV-2. The primary manifestation of COVID-19 remains respiratory, but the virus can spread to other organs and tissues, complicating the clinical picture and culminating in multiorgan failure. The key mechanisms involved in the disease include direct viral cytotoxicity, endothelial dysfunction, and exaggerated release of inflammatory cytokines. The aim of this review was to summarize the available data regarding the role of magnesium in COVID-19 patients and its particularities in different clinical settings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Coronary artery disease possess inflammatory background related to enzymatic processes with trace elements involvements as co-factors. The aim of the study was to compare serum, urine and salivary copper, magnesium, calcium and zinc levels with inflammatory indices obtained from the whole blood count in patients with complex coronary artery disease. MATERIAL AND METHOD Fifty-two (42(81 %) males, 10 (19 %) females) consecutive patients (mean (SD) age 68 (9) years with symptomatic complex coronary artery disease were enrolled into prospective single center study in 2021. Serum, saliva and urine samples were collected at the day of admission for trace elements concentration (copper, zinc, magnesium, calcium) and compared with inflammatory indexes obtained from preoperative and perioperative period. RESULTS Multivariable regression analysis revealed relation between the copper serum concentration and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and systemic inflammatory index (SII). CONCLUSION Serum copper concentration interplay with preoperative inflammatory activation in complex coronary disease measured by NLR and SII. The copper serum concentration possesses the strongest relation to preoperative inflammatory activation in patients reffered for off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

Subclinical Cardiovascular Disease Markers in Relation to Serum and Dietary Magnesium in Individuals from the General Population: The KORA-MRI Study. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14234954. [PMID: 36500983 PMCID: PMC9741061 DOI: 10.3390/nu14234954] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Several studies have implied a role of magnesium in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Thus, magnesium might serve as a potential risk marker for early CVD. Therefore, we investigated the association of serum magnesium and dietary magnesium intake with markers of subclinical CVD in a population-based study. We used cross-sectional data from the sub-study of the Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg (KORA-FF4). Markers of subclinical CVD, namely, left and right ventricular structure and function and carotid plaque and carotid wall thickness, were derived by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Multivariable-adjusted regression models were applied to assess the relationship between serum and dietary magnesium and MRI-derived subclinical CVD markers. Among 396 included participants (mean age: 56.3 ± 9.2 years; 57.8% male), 181 (45.7%) had low serum magnesium levels (<2.07 mg/dL). Among 311 subjects with complete dietary data (mean age: 56.3 ± 9.1 years; 56.3% male), 154 (49.5%) had low dietary magnesium intake (≤155.2 mg/1000 kcal/day). Serum and dietary magnesium were not correlated (p-value = 0.5). Serum magnesium was significantly associated with presence of carotid plaque (OR 1.62, p-value 0.033). Dietary magnesium was associated with higher left ventricular end-systolic and end-diastolic volume (0.04 mL/m2, 0.06 mL/m2; p-value 0.011, 0.013, respectively), and also with a decrease in left ventricular remodeling index and mean diastolic wall thickness (−0.001 g/mL/m2, −0.002 mm/m2; p-value 0.004, 0.029, respectively). In summary, there was no consistent association of serum and dietary magnesium with imaging markers of subclinical CVD.

Abstract
AIM The association between magnesium and outcomes after stroke is uncertain. We aimed to investigate the association of serum magnesium with all-cause mortality and poor functional outcome. METHODS We included patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) from the China National Stroke Registry III. We used Cox proportional hazards model for all-cause mortality and logistic regression model for poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] 2-6/3-6) to examine the relationships. RESULTS Among the 6483 patients, the median (interquartile range) magnesium was 0.87 (0.80-0.93) mmol/L. Patients in the first quartile had a higher risk of mRS score 3-6/2-6 at 3 months (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 1.30; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02, 1.64; adjusted OR: 1.29; 95% CI: 1.04-1.59) compared with those in the fourth quartile. Similar results were found for mRS score 26 at 1 year. The age- and sex-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) with 95% CI in first quartile magnesium was 1.40 (1.02-1.93) for all-cause mortality within 1 year, but became insignificant (HR: 1.03; 95% CI: 0.71-1.50) after adjusting for potential variables. CONCLUSIONS Low serum magnesium was associated with a high risk of poor functional outcome in patients with AIS or TIA.

Abstract
Background Hypermagnesemia predicts mortality in chronic heart failure (HF); however, in acute HF, magnesium does not seem to be outcome-associated. Diabetes mellitus (DM) frequently associates with altered magnesium status. We hypothesized that DM might influence the prognostic impact of magnesium in acute HF. Methods This is a retrospective cohort study of hospitalized patients with acute HF. Patients without data on admission serum magnesium were excluded. Follow-up: 1 year from hospital admission. Primary end point: all-cause mortality. Patients were divided according to median serum magnesium (1.64 mEq/L). The Kaplan-Meier survival method was used to determine survival curves according to magnesium levels. The analysis was stratified according to the presence of DM. A multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to study the prognostic impact of magnesium. Results We studied 606 patients. The mean age was 76 ± 12 years, 44.1% were male, 50.7% had DM, and 232 (38.3%) died during follow-up. Median magnesium was 1.64 (1.48-1.79) mEq/L. Patients with magnesium ≥1.64 mEq/L had higher 1-year mortality [141 (46.4%) vs 91 (30.1%), P < .001]. After adjustments for age, sex, history of atrial fibrillation, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, ischemic etiology, B-type natriuretic peptide, estimated glomerular filtration rate, alcohol consumption, antihyperglycaemic agents or glycated hemoglobin, admission glycemia, New York Heart Association class IV, and severe left ventricle systolic dysfunction, serum magnesium ≥1.64 mEq/L was associated with higher mortality only in patients with DM: HR 1.89 (95% confidence interval: 1.19-3.00), P = .007, and 1.27 (95% confidence interval: 0.83-1.94) and P = .26 for non-DM patients. The results were similar if magnesium was analyzed as a continuous variable. Per 0.1 mEq/L increase in magnesium levels, patients with DM had 13% increased risk of 1-year mortality. Conclusions Higher magnesium levels were associated with worse prognosis only in HF patients with DM.

Abstract
Transpulmonary thermodilution is often used to measure extravascular lung water
during liver transplantation. Here, the case of new onset atrial fibrillation
during orthotopic liver transplantation, which may have been induced by iced
saline injection for transpulmonary thermodilution measurement, is described. A
52-year-old male patient underwent orthotopic liver transplantation due to
alcoholic cirrhosis combined with portal hypertension. During dissection of the
recipient liver, transpulmonary thermodilution was performed. At 3 minutes
following iced saline injected, atrial fibrillation occurred, the ventricular
rate increased to more than 120 beats per min, and blood pressure dropped to
75/50 mmHg. Massive haemorrhage, inferior vena cava clamping, electrolyte
disorder, acid-base balance disorder, and hypothermia were all ruled out, and
iced saline injection was suspended. Hemodynamic stability was maintained with
phenylephrine and lanatocide C (cedilanid), and chemical cardioversion was
performed using amiodarone. During the reperfusion phase, transient hemodynamic
instability was managed by norepinephrine. The neohepatic phase was uneventful.
Atrial fibrillation lasted for 5 days and reversed to sinus rhythm
automatically. The patient was hemodynamically stable during this period, and
recovery was smooth with no thromboembolic events. In conclusion, atrial
fibrillation may be induced by iced saline injection for transpulmonary
thermodilution measurement during orthotopic liver transplantation.

Abstract
Objective: Serum magnesium (Mg2+) levels are associated with insulin resistance, hypertension, lipid abnormalities, and inflammation. However, limited studies have indicated the relationship between Mg2+ and multiple system indexes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between Mg2+ and allostatic load (AL) in hemodialysis patients. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on hemodialysis patients from different centers in Anhui Province, China, between January and December 2020. A total of 3,025 hemodialysis patients were recruited. Their clinical data were measured before hemodialysis. Information was collected by an online self-reported questionnaire and medical record. Serum Mg2+ was divided into three groups by tertiles. A score of AL greater than or equal to 3 was defined as high AL. A binary logistic regression model was applied to examine the relationship between serum Mg2+ and AL. Results: A total of 1,222 patients undergoing hemodialysis were included, 60% of whom were males (733/1,222). The mean (standard deviation) age of patients was 55.90 (12.75). The median level of serum Mg2+ was 1.22 mmol/L. The rate of high AL levels was 23.4%. Serum Mg2+ was negatively correlated with body mass index, fasting blood glucose (Glu), and C-reactive protein and positively correlated with high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, total cholesterol, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and serum phosphorus. After adjusting for gender, anxiety, diabetes, family residence, lipid-lowering agents, antihypertensive medications, albumin, and Glu, the binary logistic regression model showed that patients with lower levels of serum Mg2+ were more likely have high AL (OR for the T1 group of serum Mg2+:1.945, 95% CI: 1.365–2.773, and OR for the T2 group of serum Mg2+:1.556, 95% CI: 1.099–2.201). Conclusion: Our data support the hypothesis that higher serum Mg2+ concentrations may contribute to lower health risk in hemodialysis populations. Further randomized controlled trials and cohort studies are warranted to verify whether Mg2+ supplementation could be part of routine examinations in hemodialysis populations.

[PMID: 36140382 PMCID: PMC9496273 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10092273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Revised: 09/07/2022] [Accepted: 09/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) affects patients’ quality of life and health. Magnesium (Mg) is an essential mineral and a potent antioxidant. Mg deficiency can worsen oxidative stress caused by sleep deprivation or disorders. The impact of OSA on serum Mg levels and its health consequences remain unclear. Data Synthesis: This study systematically reviewed clinical studies investigating the serum Mg levels of OSA patients and the potential relationships with other biomarkers. Six articles were included for qualitative synthesis and quantitative analysis. Two out of four studies that compared OSA patients to healthy controls found them to have significantly lower serum Mg levels. Our meta-analysis with three studies shows that patients with OSA had significantly lower serum Mg with an effect size of −1.22 (95% CI: −2.24, −0.21). However, the mean serum Mg level of OSA patients (n = 251) pooled from five studies (1.90 mg/dL, 95% CI: 1.77, 2.04) does not differ significantly from the normal range between 1.82 to 2.30 mg/dL. OSA severity appears to affect serum Mg negatively. Serum Mg levels generally improve after treatment, coinciding with the improvement of OSA severity. Low serum Mg levels correlate with the worsening of cardiovascular risk biomarkers of C-reactive protein, ischaemia-modified albumin, and carotid intima-media thickness. The serum Mg levels also potentially correlate with biomarkers for lipid profile, glucose metabolism, calcium, and heavy metals. Conclusions: Sleep deprivation appears to deplete Mg levels of OSA patients, making them at risk of Mg deficiency, which potentially increases systemic inflammation and the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Background Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with limitation in physical performance. Results from animal studies report enhancement of physical performance in T2D rodents treated with sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is). However, in human patients with T2D and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or high cardiovascular risk, the impact of guideline directed SGLT2i medication on physical performance has not been sufficiently examined. Objectives The main objectives of this study are thus firstly, to assess the changes in physical performance after 4 weeks of exercise therapy in patients with established ASCVD or high cardiovascular risk categorized into three groups according to their glycemic control at baseline. Secondly, to investigate the association of glycemic control at baseline and new guideline directed antidiabetic treatment (inadequate glycemic control and diabetes + new SGLT2i vs. adequate glycemic control and diabetes vs. no diabetes) with change in physical performance. Methods and design This is a 4-week prospective observational study of 450 participants with established ASCVD or high cardiovascular risk with or without T2D and without previous SGLT2i medication undergoing exercise therapy during inpatient rehabilitation in a single center in Switzerland. Upon admission, participants are categorized into 3 groups of 150 participants each according to their glycemic control. Group I consisting of participants with inadequately controlled T2D defined as mean fasting plasma glucose (FPG) of ≥7 mmol/L, who are consequently administered new treatment with an SGLT2i. Group II comprises of participants with adequately controlled T2D with mean FPG of <7 mmol/L requiring no antidiabetic medication change. Group III consists of participants with no diabetes and mean FPG of ≤ 5.5 mmol/L. Primary outcomes are 6-min walk distance and rate of perceived exertion. Secondary outcomes are echocardiographic parameters (left ventricular mass index; global longitudinal strain average; end-diastolic volume), fatigue, muscle, metabolic, and anthropometric measures. Ethics and dissemination This study is conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki with ethical approval from the Cantonal Ethical Commission of Bern, Switzerland. The results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. The implementation and reporting will be according to the SPIRIT guidelines.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) is an essential divalent cation involved in various enzymatic reactions that regulate vital biological functions. The main goal was to evaluate Mg status and its association with nutritional indicators in 78 children and adolescents with chronic diseases. We assessed anthropometric, biochemical, diet, body composition, and bone densitometry valuations. Serum Mg and Ca levels were determined using the standardized method and diet calcium (Ca) and Mg consumption by a prospective 72 h diet survey. Mean serum Ca (9.9 mg/dL), Mg (2.08 mg/dL) dietary Ca (102% DRI: Dietary Reference Intake), and Mg intake (105% DRI) were normal. A total of 45% had hypomagnesemia, 12% had hypermagnesemia, and 26% and 24% had inadequate and high Mg intake, respectively. Only 6% of patients had poor Mg intake and hypomagnesemia, and 54% and 90% of our series had an elevated serum Ca/Mg ratio > 4.70 (mean 4.79) and a low Ca/Mg intake ratio < 1.70 (mean 1.06), respectively. Both Ca/Mg ratios were linked with the risk of developing other chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, syndrome metabolic, and even several cancers. Therefore, 79% of children and adolescents with chronic diseases were at elevated risk of having abnormal Mg status and developing other chronic illnesses.

Abstract
Hypertension (HTN) is a complex multifactorial disease that is one of the most prevalent disorders in our modern world. It can lead to fatal complications like coronary artery disease (CAD) and congestive heart failure (CHF) in high-risk individuals. The silent nature of HTN also contributes to its immense caseload and, today, with a number of combinations and various antihypertensive agents, patient compliance is becoming increasingly difficult. This article has reviewed the role and mechanisms of magnesium (Mg) in reducing HTN in the human body so as to provide more information that may help include it as a mainstream antihypertensive regimen. This review has also shed light on the cardioprotective nature of Mg against pathologies like CHF with special mention to patient groups who are at high risk for low Mg levels. Many studies included in this article solidify the former link, but some also provide contradicting data.

Divalent magnesium restores cytoskeletal storage lesions in cold-stored platelet concentrates. Sci Rep 2022; 12:6229. [PMID: 35422472 PMCID: PMC9010418 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-10231-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 04/04/2022] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Cold storage of platelet concentrates (PC) has become attractive due to the reduced risk of bacterial proliferation, but in vivo circulation time of cold-stored platelets is reduced. Ca2+ release from storage organelles and higher activity of Ca2+ pumps at temperatures < 15 °C triggers cytoskeleton changes. This is suppressed by Mg2+ addition, avoiding a shift in Ca2+ hemostasis and cytoskeletal alterations. We report on the impact of 2–10 mM Mg2+ on cytoskeleton alterations of platelets from PC stored at room temperature (RT) or 4 °C in additive solution (PAS), 30% plasma. Deformation of platelets was assessed by real-time deformability cytometry (RT-DC), a method for biomechanical cell characterization. Deformation was strongly affected by storage at 4 °C and preserved by Mg2+ addition ≥ 4 mM Mg2+ (mean ± SD of median deformation 4 °C vs. 4 °C + 10 mM Mg2+ 0.073 ± 0.021 vs. 0.118 ± 0.023, p < 0.01; n = 6, day 7). These results were confirmed by immunofluorescence microscopy, showing that Mg2+ ≥ 4 mM prevents 4 °C storage induced cytoskeletal structure lesion. Standard in vitro platelet function tests showed minor differences between RT and cold-stored platelets. Hypotonic shock response was not significantly different between RT stored (56.38 ± 29.36%) and cold-stored platelets with (55.22 ± 11.16%) or without magnesium (45.65 ± 11.59%; p = 0.042, all n = 6, day 1). CD62P expression and platelet aggregation response were similar between RT and 4 °C stored platelets, with minor changes in the presence of higher Mg2+ concentrations. In conclusion, increasing Mg2+ up to 10 mM in PAS counteracts 4 °C storage lesions in platelets, maintains platelet cytoskeletal integrity and biomechanical properties comparable to RT stored platelets.

Abstract
Long Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) refers to the persistence of symptoms related to the infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). This condition is described as persistent and can manifest in various combinations of signs and symptoms, such as fatigue, headache, dyspnea, depression, cognitive impairment, and altered perception of smells and tastes. Long COVID-19 may be due to long-term damage to different organs-such as lung, brain, kidney, and heart-caused by persisting viral-induced inflammation, immune dysregulation, autoimmunity, diffuse endothelial damage, and micro thrombosis. In this review, we discuss the potential and biologically plausible role of some vitamins, essential elements, and functional foods based on the hypothesis that an individual's dietary status may play an important adjunctive role in protective immunity against COVID-19 and possibly against its long-term consequences.

Front Nutr 2022; 9:747035. [PMID: 35265652 PMCID: PMC8899661 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.747035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2021] [Accepted: 01/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Our purpose is to evaluate whether serum magnesium when entering the ICU is related to 28-day in-hospital all-cause mortality in the pediatric ICU. Methods We used the PIC database to conduct a retrospective analysis to investigate the first-time serum magnesium levels of 10,033 critically ill children admitted to the pediatric ICU, and analyzed association between serum magnesium and all-cause mortality. Smoothing spline plots, subgroup analysis and segmented multivariate logistic regression analysis were conducted to estimate the relative risk between serum magnesium and all-cause mortality. The shape of the curve was used to describe the relationship between magnesium and 28-day in-hospital mortality. Results There is a non-linear relationship between serum magnesium and 28-day in-hospital all-cause mortality. The U-type relationship between serum magnesium and all-cause mortality was observed. The optimal range of serum magnesium with the lowest risk of mortality was 0.74–0.93 mmol/L. As the serum magnesium level reaches the turning point (0.74 mmol/L), the risk of death decreases by 60% for every 0.1 mmol/L increase in serum magnesium; when the serum magnesium level exceeds 0.93, an increase of 0.1 mmol/L increases the risk of death by 38 %. Conclusion Serum magnesium has a U-shaped relationship with 28-day in-hospital all-cause mortality. Both low and high serum magnesium can increase the risk of death. The best serum magnesium range when the risk of death is the lowest is 0.74–0.93 mmol/L.

Abstract
NEW FINDINGS What is the central question of this study? The aim was to examine and explore the involvement of Mg2+ in mitigating the vasoconstriction in PAs and sPAs in the MCT-PAH rat model. What are the main finding and its importance? 1.Both SOCE- and ROCE-mediated vasoconstriction enhanced in the MCT-PAH model. 2.High magnesium inhibited vasoconstriction due to directly antagonizing Ca2+ and increasing NO release. 3.The inhibition effect of high magnesium was more notable in sPA. ABSTRACT Increased extracellular magnesium concentration ([Mg2+ ]e ) has been evidenced to attenuate the endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced contractile response via the release of nitric oxide (NO) from the endothelium in proximal pulmonary arteries (PAs) of chronic hypoxic (CH) mice. Here we further examined the involvement of Mg2+ in the inhibition of vasoconstriction in PAs and distal smaller pulmonary arteries (sPAs) in a monocrotaline-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension (MCT-PAH) rat model. The data showed that in control rats, vasoconstriction in sPAs is more intense than that in PAs. In MCT-PAH rats, the store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE)-, and receptor-operated Ca2+ entry (ROCE)-mediated contraction was significantly strengthened. However, there was no upregulation of the vasoconstriction mediated by voltage-dependent calcium entry (VDCE). Furthermore, high magnesium greatly inhibited the VDCE-mediated contraction in PAs instead of sPAs, which was opposite to the ROCE-mediated contraction. Moreover, MCT pretreatment partly eliminated the endothelium-dependent vasodilation in PAs, which in sPAs, however, was still promoted by magnesium due to the increased NO release in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs). In conclusion, the findings suggest that both SOCE- and ROCE-mediated vasoconstriction in the MCT-PAH model are enhanced, especially in sPAs. The inhibition effect of high magnesium on vasoconstriction can be achieved partly by its direct role as a Ca2+ antagonist and partly by increasing the NO release in PMVECs.

Abstract
Background Hypomagnesemia, seizures, and mental retardation (HSMR) syndrome is a rare genetic disease. Presently, only 24 cases have been reported and the clinical features of the disease are yet to be fully described, thereby making diagnosis challenging. Methods Trio‐whole‐exome sequencing was used for the patient and her parents, and the structure of the variant protein was analyzed by molecular dynamics. Finally, the characteristics of HSMR were summarized by reviewing the previous literature. Results The main disease manifestations in the patient were seizures, liver function damage, hypomagnesemia, atrial septal defect, and sinus arrhythmia. A novel mutation in CNNM2 (c.566A>G/p.Tyr189Cys) was identified by genetic detection. The parents were wild type, and the mutation was rated as pathogenic by American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines. Ab initio modeling and molecular dynamics simulation show that the mutation destroys the surrounding hydrogen bonds, which may reduce the local stability of the protein structure. In the previous literature, only 24 children with HSMR have been reported, mainly manifested as hypomagnesemia, mental retardation, seizures, and language and motor impairment. Conclusion We have reported the second case of HSMR in the Chinese population, which further expands the phenotypic spectrum of congenital heart disease and the variation spectrum of CNNM2.

Abstract
Background. Cisplatin (CP) is widely used to treat various kinds of malignancies, but to avoid its side effects of nephrotoxicity and hypomagnesemia, magnesium supplementation is a subject of debate. The current study was designed to determine the protective role of intravenous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) against intravenous administration of CP in male and female rats. Method. In this case-control experimental study, 80 Wistar male and female rats in 12 groups of experiments were subjected to receive intravenous administration of CP accompanied with intravenous infusion of different doses (1, 3, and 10 mg/ml solution) of MgSO4 and were compared with the control groups. Results. CP administration increased blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), kidney tissue damage score (KTDS), and kidney weight (KW), and they were attenuated by the mid-dose of MgSO4 supplementation in female rats. However, in male rats, the increase of Cr, BUN, KTDS, and KW induced by CP was ameliorated by low, mid-, and high doses of MgSO4 supplements. The levels of these markers were significantly different between male and female rats in the mid-dose of MgSO4-treated group (BUN:
, Cr:
, KTDS:
, and KW:
). CP reduced clearance of Cr (ClCr) in both male and female rats significantly compared to the control group of saline alone (Pmale = 0.002 and Pfemale = 0.001), and the mid- and high doses of MgSO4 supplements improved ClCr in female rats. There were also sex differences in ClCr in mid- (
) and high (
) doses of MgSO4-treated groups. CP accompanied with the mid-dose of MgSO4 supplement reduced the KTDS (Pmale = 0.04 and Pfemale = 0.004) and KW (Pmale = 0.002 and Pfemale = 0.042) in both male and female rats significantly when compared with the CP-alone-treated group, while there were also significant differences between the sexes (KTDS:
and KW:
). CP accompanied with three different doses of MgSO4 supplements did not improve the serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase, urine level of sodium, malondialdehyde, urine flow, and nitrite statistically when compared with the CP-alone-treated group. Conclusion. The renal protective effect of MgSO4 could be dose and gender related.

The Roles of Platelet-Activating Factor and Magnesium in Pathophysiology of Hypertension, Atherogenesis, Cardiovascular Disease, Stroke and Aging. CARDIOGENETICS 2022.

Abstract
Hypertension and atherosclerosis are debilitating diseases that affect millions each year. Long-term consequences include but are not limited to stroke, myocardial infarction, and kidney failure. Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a proinflammatory mediator synthesized from a subclass of phosphatidylcholines that increases platelet activation, leukocyte adhesion, infiltration of macrophages, and intracellular lipid accumulation, thereby contributing to atherosclerosis. Magnesium, a key micronutrient and free radical scavenger, is a water-soluble mineral that regulates peripheral vasodilation and calcium, phosphate, and hydroxyapatite homeostasis. Magnesium’s antihypertensive ability stems from its role as a natural calcium antagonist and promoter of vasodilatory mediators, such as nitric oxide. Platelet-activating factor and magnesium share an inverse relationship, and elevated magnesium levels have been shown to have protective effects against plaque formation as well as antihypertensive and antiarrhythmic effects, all of which allow for healthier aging. The purpose of this literature review is to investigate the role of platelet-activating factor and magnesium in the pathophysiology of hypertension, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and aging. Since the pathophysiology of the platelet-activating factor biomolecule is underexplored, further research studies are warranted in order to navigate the putative signaling pathways involved in the cardioprotective effects of dietary magnesium as a natural anti-PAF agent.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is one a disease that seriously endangers human health. Previous studies have demonstrated that transient receptor potential channel-1 (TRPC1)/large conductance Ca2+ activated K+ channel (BK) signal complex is widely distributed in arteries. Therefore, it was hypothesized that TRPC1-BK signal complex may be a new target for the treatment of AS-related diseases. Apolipoprotein E-/- (ApoE-/-) mice were used to establish an atherosclerotic animal model in the present study, and the association between AS and the TRPC1-BK signal complex was examined. The present study aimed to compare the differences in the expression levels of mRNAs and proteins of the TRPC1-BK signal complex expressed in the aortic vascular smooth muscle tissue, between mice with AS and control mice. There were 10 mice in each group. Reverse transcription PCR, western blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the differences in the mRNA and protein expression levels of TRPC1, BKα (the α subunit of BK) and BKβ1 (the β1 subunit of BK). The mRNA expression level of TRPC1 in AS model mice was significantly higher compared with that in the control group (P<0.05). However, the mRNA expression levels of BKα and BKβ1 were lower compared with those in the controls (both P<0.01). The mice in the ApoE-/- group successfully developed AS. In this group, the protein expression level of TRPC1 was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.01), while the protein expression levels of BKα and BKβ1 were lower compared with those in the control group (P<0.01 and P<0.05, respectively). Collectively, it was identified that the protein and mRNA expression levels of the TRPC1/BK signal complex in the aortic vascular smooth muscle tissue could be influenced by the development of AS in mice. Hence, the TRPC1/BK signal complex may be a potential therapeutic target for the prevention and treatment of AS-related complications in the future.

Nutrients and Dietary Approaches in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Cardiovascular Disease: A Narrative Review. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13114150. [PMID: 34836405 PMCID: PMC8622886 DOI: 10.3390/nu13114150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2021] [Revised: 11/06/2021] [Accepted: 11/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. The prevalence of CVD is much higher in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), who may benefit from lifestyle changes, which include adapted diets. In this review, we provide the role of different groups of nutrients in patients with T2DM and CVD, as well as dietary approaches that have been associated with better and worse outcomes in those patients. Many different diets and supplements have proved to be beneficial in T2DM and CVD, but further studies, guidelines, and dietary recommendations are particularly required for patients with both diseases.

Top Companion Anim Med 2021; 46:100588. [PMID: 34610438 DOI: 10.1016/j.tcam.2021.100588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2021] [Revised: 09/22/2021] [Accepted: 09/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and aging are known to possibly cause a progressive reduction in glomerular filtration rate, which may be associated with an increase in fractional excretion of electrolytes due to an adaptive response of the remaining functioning nephrons. However, the behavior of magnesium excretion has not been studied in CKD and healthy elderly dogs. The objective was to evaluate the fractional excretion of magnesium (FEMg) in dogs with (CKD) compared to healthy elderly dogs. Sixteen healthy elderly dogs and 43 dogs with CKD were divided into 3 groups (CKD 2 [n = 14], CKD 3 [n = 17], CKD 4 [n = 12]), in accordance with the current International Renal Interest Society (IRIS) criteria that were used in this study. Blood samples were obtained by jugular venipuncture and urine samples were obtained by cystocentesis. The FEMg was evaluated at a single time point in both urine and blood samples. FEMg was significantly higher in dogs with CKD compared to healthy elderly dogs, especially in advanced stages. This preliminary study demonstrates that FEMg may be altered in dogs with CKD. Further research is warranted to elucidate magnesium's potential role in cardiovascular and arterial calcification in dogs with CKD as observed in humans with CKD.
