HEART-MUSCLE MAGNESIUM, POTASSIUM, AND ZINC CONCENTRATIONS AFTER SUDDEN DEATH FROM HEART-DISEASE
Heart muscle from subjects who died suddenly from coronary thrombosis or myocardial degeneration contained significantly smaller concentrations of magnesium than heart muscle from subjects who died from other causes. Mean values for the two groups were 172 μg. per g. for the "heart deaths"...

Zusammenfassung: | Heart muscle from subjects who died suddenly from coronary thrombosis or myocardial degeneration contained significantly smaller concentrations of magnesium than heart muscle from subjects who died from other causes. Mean values for the two groups were 172 μg. per g. for the "heart deaths" and 205 μg. per g. for the controls. There was no significant difference in potassium or zinc concentration between the two groups. It is suggested that these results may be related to the high death-rate from cardiovascular disease in soft-water areas. |
