Summary

This study tests whether giving magnesium to critically ill patients in the ICU can prevent a common heart rhythm problem called new-onset atrial fibrillation. About 200 adults on breathing machines or heart-support medications will receive either magnesium or a placebo. The main goal is to see if this approach is practical for a larger future study.
