Hypermagnesemia, often seen in elderly individuals or those with renal insufficiency, can lead to changes in the ST segments and T waves on the electrocardiogram. Exposure of bullfrog hearts to high magnesium solutions reproduced significant ST segment changes observed in patients with severe hypermagnesemia, which could be quickly reversed by pharmacological stimulation of Na+/K+-ATPase activity with insulin.
Hypermagnesemia occurs in elderly people or patients with renal insufficiency after excessive ingestion of magnesium-containing laxatives. In addition to typical electrocardiogram (ECG) findings caused by conduction defects, changes in the ST segments and T waves are also observed in patients with severe hypermagnesemia. This suggested the involvement of similar pathophysiology to acute myocardial infarction, as we previously demonstrated using burninduced subepicardial injury model in frog hearts. In the present study, by exposing the bullfrog heart to high-magnesium solution, we reproduced prominent ST segment changes in ECG as actually observed in patients with severe hypermagnesemia. In addition to the great increase in the T waves, the ECG showed a marked elevation of the ST segments and the cardiac action potential demonstrated a marked shift of the resting membrane potential to the depolarized side. High-magnesium exposure did not affect the abundance of Na+/K+-ATPase proteins. However, the pharmacological stimulation of Na+/K+-ATPase activity by insulin quickly retrieved the elevated ST segments in ECG. From these results, the functional blockade of Na+/K+-ATPase activity by magnesium ions was thought to be responsible for generating the potassium concentration gradient and the subsequent ST segment changes.
