Magnesium has been a forgotten cation from the therapeutical point of view, given that, although its properties began to be known more than a century ago, its use has been always empirical or isolated. With respect to its use in emergency situations, in addition to correcting its deficit and using it for the treatment of hypercalcemia and hypopotassemia, it is currently recommended as the therapy of choice for the treatment and prevention of several arrhythmias. It can also be used to prevent its deficit, when such deficit is pathological or associated to the ingestion or certain drugs. Given the multiple properties of magnesium, controlled studies are required in order to define its potential therapeutical applications.
从治疗角度来看，镁一直是一种被遗忘的阳离子。尽管其特性在一个多世纪前就开始为人所知，但其使用一直是经验性的或孤立的。关于其在紧急情况下的使用，除了纠正其缺乏以及用于治疗高钙血症和低钾血症外，目前它还被推荐作为治疗和预防多种心律失常的首选疗法。当这种缺乏是病理性的或与摄入某些药物相关时，它也可用于预防其缺乏。鉴于镁的多种特性，需要进行对照研究以确定其潜在的治疗应用。
