NCT02966912

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate whether nutritional supplementation with magnesium can improve cardiovascular structure and function in participants with obesity - with a long-term goal of preventing clinical heart failure. Specifically, in a randomized open-label pilot study, we will assess whether dietary Magnesium (Mg) supplementation (versus no supplementation) for 24 weeks in obese patients will improve left ventricular (LV) mass.
