Association between serum Mg2+ concentrations and cardiovascular organ damage in a cohort of adult subjects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Magnesium (Mg2+) levels are associated with insulin resistance, hypertension, atherosclerosis, and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). We evaluated the clinical utility of physiological Mg2+ in assessing subclinical cardiovascular organ damage including increased ...
