mitral valve prolapse

But from the American Journal of Cardiology, there was a double-blind study done.

And the title of this paper was Clinical Symptoms of Mitral Valve Prolapse are Related to Hypomagnesemia.

See, now you can use that at a party to sound really, really smart.

You can ask your friends, have you ever been checked for hypomagnesemia? Just don't mention my name when you ask them that.

And attenuated, that means lessened, by magnesium supplements.

They had 141 subjects, and they compared it to 40 people who did not have this condition.

And the first thing they did is they tested both groups for a magnesium deficiency, and they found in the group with mitral valve prolapse, there was a 60% deficiency of magnesium.

Now, in the healthy group, only 5% of these people had a magnesium deficiency.

The issue is complemented by further discussion forum contributions.

In a contribution entitled, Is True MAD What We're Truly Looking For in Arrhythmic Risk Stratification? Stefano Vigliozzi and Kamil Stankowski from IRCCS Humanitas Research Hospital in Milan, Italy and Centro Cardiologico Monzino IRCCS in Milan, Italy comment on the recently published paper entitled, Mitral Annular Disjunction and Mitral Valve Prolapse, Long-Term Risk of Ventricular Arrhythmias After Surgery by Clara Lodin et al.

from Karolinska Institute in Solna, Sweden.

Lodin and colleagues reply in a separate contribution.
