| The minerals potassium and magnesium must be available to the body in a balanced balance. However, there is often a shift to the disadvantage of minerals due to insufficient absorption of minerals, such as in chronic inflammatory bowel disease or short bowel syndrome. Increased excretion of minerals through heavy sweating or ingestion of certain drugs (diuretics, cardiac glycosides) and increased alcohol consumption can also cause an imbalance in the electrolyte balance. Undersupply can promote cardiac arrhythmias and reduce glucose tolerance. In addition, severe potassium losses can lead to dangerous interactions with drugs taken in parallel, such as cardiac glycosides and diuretics. In the case of cardiac arrhythmias caused by extracardial causes, such as electrolyte imbalances, long-term and regular support of the electrolyte balance with the minerals potassium and magnesium should be provided. The supply of Coenzyme Q10 and Omega-3 fatty acids can also improve the cardiac energy metabolism and thus stabilise the heart rhythm. |
