    Published in Hypertension

    Methodology

    Meta-analysis of randomized double-blind trials of magnesium supplementation on blood pressure and related autonomic markers.

    Key Findings

    Magnesium modestly reduced blood pressure and catecholamine-associated vascular tone in participants with insufficiency.

    Conclusions

    Magnesium repletion dampens sympathetic vascular activation.

    Limitations

    Effects small in replete participants; autonomic outcomes secondary.
