Hypomagnesaemia
Isolated low serum Mg levels are associated with atrial depolarisation and ventricular repolarisation abnormalities, predisposing to ventricular arrhythmias
Isolated low serum Mg levels are associated with atrial depolarisation and ventricular repolarisation abnormalities, predisposing to ventricular arrhythmias
Hypomagnesaemia: Defined as serum magnesium < 0.75 mmol/L; associated with increased ICU mortality common — affects 10-65% of ICU patients
Magnesium: intracellular cation; hypomagnesaemia = common electrolyte abnormality in ICU
