A study of myocardial Mg, based on 1236 samples obtained at post-mortem examinations, is reported. There was a lower Mg level in samples from subjects certified to have died from IHD causes, by about 13%, than in samples from other deaths. There were lower levels, by about 5% where death had been lingering, compared to sudden, and there was a large range, equivalent to +/- 12%, in the mean Mg levels in samples from different areas. Various possible sources of bias are briefly considered.
报告了一项基于1236份尸检样本的心肌镁含量研究。经证实死于缺血性心脏病（IHD）的受试者样本中的镁含量比其他死因样本中的低约13%。与猝死相比，迁延性死亡的样本中镁含量低约5%，并且不同区域样本的平均镁含量存在相当于±12%的较大范围差异。简要考虑了各种可能的偏差来源。
