A trial, conducted by two American universities, therefore aimed to assess the effect of oral magnesium (400 mg magnesium oxide daily) on atrial fibrillation, an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm. A total of 59 participants received either 400 mg\/day magnesium orally or a matching placebo. Magnesium levels significantly increased in the supplementation group. In summary, this trial supports the safety and tolerability of magnesium supplementation in preventing arrhythmia in these patients.
