Importance of magnesium - video

Magnesium deficiency can cause irregularities in heart rhythm. It will also make correction of co-existent potassium deficiency difficult because magnesium is a co-factor for the enzyme which conserves potassium in the kidney. Hence correction often involves supplementation of both magnesium and potassium. Life threatening ventricular arrhythmias can occur in severe magnesium and potassium deficiency.
