Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Research shows that magnesium deficiency, or restricted magnesium intake, increases irregular heartbeats known as arrhythmias. In a review published in May 2019 in Cardiology Research and Practice, researchers found that a low level of magnesium in the blood may increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Detailed explanation-2: -Potassium homeostasis plays a key role in regulating cell membrane excitability. Hypokalemia usually presents with cardiovascular and neuromuscular abnormalities. Hypokalemia can lead to clinically significant life-threatening arrhythmia.
