Charles Eaton, MD, Alpert Medical School of Brown University, and a
large team of researchers from various institutions, coauthored the
article entitled "Association
of Dietary Magnesium Intake with Fatal Coronary Heart Disease and
Sudden Cardiac Death: Findings from the Women's Health Initiative."
The researchers examined magnesium intake at baseline for more than
153,000 postmenopausal women and identified the development of fatal
coronary heart disease and sudden cardiac death over the subsequent 10.5
years of follow-up. The data revealed that higher magnesium intake was
associated with statistically significant risk reduction in fatal
coronary heart disease and a reduction in risk of sudden cardiac death.
Susan G. Kornstein, MD, Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Women's Health and Executive Director of the Virginia Commonwealth University Institute for Women's Health, Richmond, VA, states: "If the findings of this study are confirmed, future research should test whether high-risk women would benefit from magnesium supplementation to reduce their risk of fatal coronary heart disease."
