Relation Between Severity of Magnesium Deficiency and Frequency of Anginal Attacks in Men With Variant Angina

Objectives. We evaluated whether the severity of magnesium deficiency was correlated with the frequency of attacks of variant angina. Background. Magnesium deficiency may be associated with the development of variant angina. However, the relation between the activity of variant angina and magnesium...

Description
Summary:Objectives. We evaluated whether the severity of magnesium deficiency was correlated with the frequency of attacks of variant angina. Background. Magnesium deficiency may be associated with the development of variant angina. However, the relation between the activity of variant angina and magnesium deficiency remains to be elucidated. Methods. We assessed the body magnesium status of 18 men with variant angina: Group 1 (≥4 attacks/week, n = 7) and Group 2 (
