Low or depleted magnesium levels are associated with a higher likelihood of several cardiovascular problems, including arrhythmias, where people with low magnesium have been shown to have 2–4 times higher odds of these rhythm disturbances compared with those with normal levels. Low magnesium is also linked to worsening coronary artery disease, progression of heart failure, and development or aggravation of hypertension, driven by disrupted cardiac electrical stability, vascular function, and electrolyte balance. Even mild magnesium depletion may contribute to higher blood pressure over time, adding to the overall cardiovascular burden, especially in individuals with existing heart disease or multiple risk factors.
