P-107: Effects of oral magnesium (MG++) and potassium (K+) therapy on thallium perfusion scan defects, quality of life and pulse wave analysis in hypertensive patients with syndrome X

Previous studies have shown that Mg++/K+ supplementation improves symptoms and endothelial function in patients (pts) with coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the present study was to investigate these effects in pts with syndrome X (S-X). Twenty-seven S-X pts with hypertension (16 men, 11 wom...

Description
Summary:Previous studies have shown that Mg++/K+ supplementation improves symptoms and endothelial function in patients (pts) with coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the present study was to investigate these effects in pts with syndrome X (S-X). Twenty-seven S-X pts with hypertension (16 men, 11 women, mean±SD age 62±8, range 48–77 years) were included in this double-blinded placebo (P) controlled study. S-X was defined as the presence of chest pain and signs of myocardial ischemia in thallium SPECT-scan in absence of significant CAD (
