Study Finds A Link Between Serum Magnesium & Systolic Blood Pressure
The global prevalence of hypertension in adults is between 30 and 45%. Several studies have demonstrated the role of magnesium in blood pressure among hypertensive patients. In a study, researchers have reported a positive association of serum magnesium with systolic blood pressure (SBP) in patients with hypertensive crises (SBP greater than 180 mmHg and/or DBP greater than 120 mmHg). The study findings were published in the journal Nutrients on November 24, 2021.
Multiple observational clinical studies and a meta-analysis have evaluated the relationship between serum magnesium and blood pressure in patients with and without hypertension. However, there is a dearth of studies that have evaluated the association of serum magnesium and blood pressure in patients with hypertensive crises. Therefore, Dr Onor Ifeanyichukwu O and his team conducted a study to evaluate the relationship between serum magnesium and blood pressure in patients with hypertensive crises.
