Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine how magnesium affects human coronary arteries and whether endothelium derived nitric oxide (EDNO) is involved in the coronary arterial response to magnesium. DESIGN: Quantitative coronary angiography and Doppler flow velocity measurements were used to determine the effects of the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA) on magnesium induced dilation of the epicardial and resistance coronary arteries. SETTING: Hiroshima University Hospital a tertiary cardiology centre. PATIENTS: 17 patients with angiographically normal coronary arteries. INTERVENTIONS: Magnesium sulfate (MgSO(4)) (0.02 mmol/min and 0.2 mmol/min) was infused for two minutes into the left coronary ostium before and after intracoronary infusion of L-NMMA. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Diameter of the proximal and distal segments of the epicardial coronary arteries and coronary blood flow. RESULTS: At a dose of 0.02 mmol/min, MgSO(4) did not affect the coronary arteries. At a dose of 0.2 mmol/min, MgSO(4) caused coronary artery dilation (mean (SEM) proximal diameter 3.00 (0.09) to 3.11 (0.09) mm; distal 1.64 (0.06) to 1.77 (0.07) mm) and increased coronary blood flow (79.3 (7.5) to 101.4 (9.9) ml/min, p < 0.001 v baseline for all). MgSO(4) increased the changes in these parameters after the infusion of L-NMMA (p < 0.001 v baseline). CONCLUSIONS: Magnesium dilates both the epicardial and resistance coronary arteries in humans. Furthermore, the coronary arterial response to magnesium is dose dependent and independent of EDNO.
