Magnesium was measured in sublingual epithelium using X\u2010ray dispersive analysis. QT interval dispersion was assessed on 12\u2010lead surface F\u2010XCs in all patients, and programmed stimulation was performed in 28. The sublingual epithelial magnesium level ([Mg]<jats:sub>i<\/jats:sub>), but the not the serum level, correlated Inversely with QT interval dispersion in 40 patients (r = 0.58, P &lt; 0.0.5); in 12 patients undergoing repeat testing on therapy, the change in magnesium also correlated inversely with the change in QT dispersion (r = 0.61, P &lt; 0.05). Patients with left ventricular ejection fractions &gt; 40% had significantly higher tissue magnesium and lower QT dispersion (34.5 \u00b1 0.5 mEq\/L, 81 \u00b1 8 msec) than those with left ventricular ejection fractious &lt; 40% (32.7 \u00b1 0.5 mEq\/L, P &lt; 0.01, and 114 \u00b1 9 msec, P &lt; 0.05). There was no difference in either [Mg]<jats:sub>i<\/jats:sub>, or QT dispersion in the 16 patients with inducible monomorphic ventricular tachycardia versus the 12 noninducible patients.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Conclusion:<\/jats:italic> Reduced tissue magnesium stores may represent a significant risk factor for arrhythmias associated with abnormal repolarization, particularly in patients with poor left ventricular systolic function, but may not represent a risk for excitable gap arrhythmias associated with a fixed anatomic substrate (e.g., monomorphic ventricular tachycardia).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8167.1997.tb00620.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,20]],"date-time":"2007-04-20T15:02:29Z","timestamp":1177081349000},"page":"980-986","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Tissue
