Arrhythmia

Supplements studied for arrhythmia.

Overview

Two supplements are indexed for arrhythmia across 29 studies.

Magnesium sulfate (DEX Score 68, medium ratings) is a safe and effective treatment for torsades de pointes associated with prolonged QT interval, typically given intravenously as a slow injection with possible continuous infusion. L-Carnitine (DEX Score 48; low effect size, medium evidence, medium trust) has weaker evidence from small studies suggesting oral doses of 2 grams two or three times daily may reduce premature ventricular contractions.

Most arrhythmia supplement evidence centers on magnesium for this specific rhythm disturbance. See the heatmap and evidence reviews below for full trial detail.
