Renal excretion of lactate and magnesium in mitral valve prolapse.
A strong positive correlation between urinary magnesium and lactate was found in 17 magnesium-depleted patients with echocardiographically proved mitral valve prolapse. The strong correlation over all the range of urinary magnesium values and the significantly increased excretion of lactate suggest urinary magnesium loss in this syndrome.
