Abstract

RECENTLY we reported1 a relative plasma magnesium deficiency in a group of forty male patients with acute myocardial infarction (mean of 2.3 mg per 100 ml.) compared with thirty-six normal healthy males (mean of 2.6 mg per 100 ml.) in the same age group. In addition it was shown that magnesium added to fresh whole blood delays the clumping of platelets in vitro.
