Carnitine and its role in cardiovascular disease.
Study: Arrhythmia Carnitine and its role in cardiovascular disease. Retter AS Heart Dis 1999 May-Jun;1(2):108-13 L-carnitine and its derivative, propionyl-L-carnitine, are organic amines produced and metabolized endogenously. These compounds are essential in the process of fatty acid oxidation and have also been shown to reduce intracellular accumulation of toxic metabolites during ischemia. Currently, exogenous administration […] More

Magnesium deficiency. Role in arrhythmias complicating acute myocardial infarction?
Study: Arrhythmia Magnesium deficiency. Role in arrhythmias complicating acute myocardial infarction? Bigg RP; Chia R Med J Aust 1981 Apr 4;1(7):346-8 Magnesium deficiency is likely to occur in certain patients prone to developing acute myocardial infarction, such as hypertensive patients being treated with diuretics, alcoholics, diabetics and patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy taking diuretics and digitalis.

Hypomagnesemia in heart failure with ventricular arrhythmias. Beneficial effects of magnesium supplementation.
Study: Arrhythmia Hypomagnesemia in heart failure with ventricular arrhythmias. Beneficial effects of magnesium supplementation. Ceremuzynski L; Gebalska J; Wolk R; Makowska E J Intern Med 2000 Jan;247(1):78-86 OBJECTIVE: To assess the role of electrolyte imbalance in cardiac arrhythmias associated with congestive heart failure. DESIGN: Serum magnesium and potassium levels, urine magnesium excretion and the incidence […] More

Ventricular arrhythmias late after myocardial infarction are related to hypomagnesemia and magnesium loss: preliminary trial of corrective therapy.
Study: Arrhythmia Ventricular arrhythmias late after myocardial infarction are related to hypomagnesemia and magnesium loss: preliminary trial of corrective therapy. Ceremuzynski L; Van Hao N Clin Cardiol 1993 Jun;16(6):493-6 It has been well established that in acute myocardial infarction (MI) many patients display low serum magnesium (Mg). This is associated with complex ventricular arrhythmias. The […] More

Vigorous supplementation of a hypocaloric diet prevents cardiac arrhythmias and mineral depletion.
Study: Arrhythmia Vigorous supplementation of a hypocaloric diet prevents cardiac arrhythmias and mineral depletion. Amatruda JM; Biddle TL; Patton ML; Lockwood DH Am J Med 1983 Jun;74(6):1016-22 We have previously demonstrated that a hypocaloric, nutritionally deficient, liquid protein diet is associated with potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, which increased in frequency and complexity over the duration […] More

Beneficial effects of vitamin E treatment in acute myocardial infarction.
Study: Arrhythmia Beneficial effects of vitamin E treatment in acute myocardial infarction. Sethi R; Takeda N; Nagano M; Dhalla NS J Cardiovasc Pharmacol Ther 2000 Jan;5(1):51-8 BACKGROUND: Vitamin E (Vit E), an antioxidant, is considered to prolong survival in patients and animals after myocardial infarction. Because myocardial infarction is associated with arrhythmia and heart dysfunction, […] More
