Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypomagnesemia does not cause pre-eclampsia; instead, it is often associated with cardiovascular issues, such as increased SA node automaticity, prolonged QT interval which increases the risk of Torsades de Pointes, and an increased risk of atrial fibrillation and supraventricular tachycardia post-acute myocardial infarction. Symptoms can include weakness, lethargy, and poorly controlled atrial fibrillation despite adequate digoxin levels. Pre-eclampsia is a condition related to high blood pressure during pregnancy, not directly caused by low magnesium levels.
