title: [Distribution of Mg2+ and Ca2+ in serum and lymphocyte of the patients with arrhythmia].
abstract: The distributions of Mg2+ and Ca2+ in serum and lymphocyte from 51 arrhythmic patients (15 cases of atrial premature beat, 12 cases of atrial fibrillation, 24 cases of ventricular premature beat) and 30 healthy subjects were detected by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The results showed that the distribution of Mg2+ of the arrhythmia cases was significantly lower than that of the control group (P < 0.01) and the concentration of Ca2+ in lymphocytes of arrhythmia case group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.01). The above distribution of Mg2+ and Ca2+ was somewhat related to the degree of heart failure. It is suggested that the lower distribution of Mg2+ in lymphocytes may cause arrhythmias.
