Tonight on our internet based radio show, we\'ll be talking with Dr. Carolyn Dean about Atrial Fibrillation and sharing the Good News of how you can get well and live longer along with a wide range of health topics and safe solutions.

Magnesium deficiency is at epidemic proportions. The heart has the highest amount of magnesium in the body. If the heart muscles are lacking in magnesium, they can go into spasm causing pain or heart rhythm disturbances. You may not even feel any symptoms but on a routine physical with an EKG your doctor may say, \'Oh, you have atrial fibrillation\'.

Magnesium’s role in preventing heart disease and strokes is accepted yet doctors have not gotten up to speed with its use. Magnesium was first shown to be of value in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias in 1935 and since then there have been numerous double-blind studies showing magnesium to be of benefit for many types of arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, ventricular premature contractions, ventricular tachycardia, and severe ventricular arrhythmias. Magnesium supplementation has also been shown to be helpful in angina due either to a spasm of the coronary artery or atherosclerosis.
