Magnesium treatment suppresses ventricular arrhythmias in acute myocardial infarction and possibly mortality after infarction, but the underlying mechanisms are inadequately understood. We tested whether the effect of magnesium could be attributed to an influence on the autonomic control of the heart, changes in disturbed repolarization, relief of ischaemia or limitation of myocardial injury.
