Magnesium and potassium content of normal heart muscle in areas of hard and soft water.

B Chipperfield, J R Chipperfield, G Behr, P Burton.   

Abstract

Concentrations of both magnesium and potassium were significantly increased in normal heart muscle samples from an area with a soft water supply compared with matched samples from an area with hard water. The zinc contrentration was also slightly increased in the soft water area. The magnesium/potassium ratio was significantly lower in the softwater area. This relative deficiency of magnesium may increase the risk of death after myocardial infarction in soft-water areas.
