Abstract in Portuguese
Introdução: As extrassístoles ventriculares e supraventriculares (EV e ESSV) são frequentes e muitas vezes sintomáticas. O íon magnésio (Mg) desempenha um papel importante na fisiologia do potencial de ação transmembrana celular e do ritmo cardíaco. Objetivo: Avaliar se a administração do Pidolato de Magnésio (PMg) em pacientes com EV e ESSV é superior ao placebo (P) na melhora dos sintomas e densidade das extrassístoles(DES). Métodos: Estudo duplo-cego, randomizado, com 90 pacientes sintomáticos consecutivos, com mais de 240/EV ou ESSV ao Holter de 24 horas e selecionados para receber P ou PMg. Para avaliar a melhora da sintomatologia, foi feito um questionário categórico e específico de sintomas relacionado às extrassístoles. Foi considerada significante uma redução de mais de 70% na DES por hora após o tratamento. A dose do PMg foi de 3,0g/dia por 30 dias, equivalente a 260mg do elemento Mg. Nenhum paciente tinha cardiopatia estrutural ou insuficiência renal. Resultados: Dos 90 pacientes estudados, 49 eram do sexo feminino (54,4%). A faixa etária variou de 16 a 70 anos. No grupo PMg, 77,8% dos pacientes tiveram redução maior que 70%, 6,7% deles entre 50% a 70% e, somente 13,3% dos pacientes com redução menor que 50% na DES . No grupo P, 44,4% dos pacientes tiveram melhora de apenas 30% na frequência de extrassístoles (p<0,001). A melhora dos sintomas foi alcançada em 91,1% dos pacientes do grupo PMg, comparada com somente 15,6% do grupo P(p<0,001). Conclusão: A suplementação de Mg por via oral reduziu a DES, resultando em melhora dos sintomas. Estudos clínicos e moleculares são necessários para avaliar o Mg intracelular e orientar quanto às necessidades diárias deste íon, evidenciar as prováveis deficiências e esclarecer melhor como prevenir e tratar pacientes com extrassístoles sintomáticas e sem cardiopatia estrutural.

Abstract in English
Introduction: Premature ventricular and supraventricular complexes (PVC and PsVC) are frequent and often symptomatic. The magnesium (Mg) ion plays a role in the physiology of cell membranes and cardiac rhythm. Objective: We evaluated whether the administration of Mg Pidolate (MgP) in patients with PVC and PsVC is superior to placebo (P) in improving symptoms and arrhythmia frequency. Methods: Randomized double-blind study with 90 consecutive symptomatic patients with more than 240 PVC or PsVC on 24-hour Holter monitoring who were selected to receive placebo or MgP. To evaluate symptom improvement, a categorical and a specific questionnaire for symptoms related to PVC and PsVC was made. Improvement in premature complex density (PCD) per hour was considered significant if percentage reduction was >=70% after treatment. The dose of MgP was 3.0 g/day for 30 days, equivalent to 260mg of Mg element. None of the patients had structural heart disease or renal failure. Results: Of the 90 patients, 49 were female (54,4%). Ages ranged from 16 to 70 years old. In the MgP group, 77.8% of patients had a PCD reduction >70%, 6,7% of them from 50% to 70%, and only 13.3% <50%. In the P group, 44,4% showed slight improvement, <30%, in the premature complexes frequency (p<0.001). Symptom improvement was achieved in 91.1% of patients in the MgP group, compared with only 15.6% in the P group (p<0.001). Conclusions: Oral Mg supplementation decreases PCD, resulting in symptom improvement. Clinical and molecular studies are needed to evaluate intracellular Mg and develop better targets for the daily needs of this ion, show probable deficiencies, and explain how to prevent and better treat patients with symptomatic premature ventricular, and supraventricular complexes and no apparent heart disease.
