Abstract

Patients with advanced chronic kidney disease exhibit an increase in cardiovascular mortality. Recent works have shown that low levels of magnesium are associated with increased cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in hemodialysis patients. Epidemiological studies suggest an influence of low levels of magnesium on the occurrence of cardiovascular disease, which is also observed in the normal population. Magnesium is involved in critical cellular events such as apoptosis and oxidative stress. It also participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In animal models of uremia, dietary supplementation of magnesium reduces vascular calcifications and mortality; in vitro, an increase of magnesium concentration decreases osteogenic transdifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Therefore, it may be appropriate to evaluate whether magnesium replacement should be administered in an attempt to reduce vascular damage and mortality in the uremic population In the present manuscript, we will review the magnesium homeostasis, the involvement of magnesium in enzymatic reactions, apoptosis and oxidative stress and the clinical association between magnesium and cardiovascular disease in the general population and in the context of chr...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
