Magnesium Therapy for Intractable Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias in Normomagnesemic Patients
AUTOR(ES)
Iseri, Lloyd T.
RESUMO
Intractable ventricular tachyarrhythmia associated with hypomagnesemia responds well to magnesium given intravenously. Two patients with recurrent ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation associated with normal serum magnesium levels and resistant to treatment with potassium chloride, lidocaine and bretylium tosylate responded dramatically to the administration of magnesium sulfate. A third patient in whom the serum magnesium level was unknown also showed dramatic response to magnesium therapy.
