 Magnesium is in charge or an important electrolyte to help us with muscle relaxation such as potassium is for muscle contraction. It is a major intra cellular fluid and it likes to travel with potassium so when magnesium levels are low usually potassium levels will be low and if magnesium is high potassium will be high as well. High risk for magnesium imbalances are patients with chronic alcoholism and that many times is manifested by this rhythmia called torsace de puentes and that is a special kind of ventricular tachycardia that is very easily identified on a cardiac rhythm strip so make sure that when you see that on a monitor you right away think about patients with magnesium imbalances and that is usually due to hypomagnesemia so low magnesium levels.
